California's exceptional McConnell's Fine Ice Creams lands at Maman locations for the summer. The shops will serve scoops of flavors including Chocolate Almond Brittle and Sea Salt Cream & Cookies, along with ice cream sandwiches made with Maman's cookie dough.

If it's your kind of scene, head to The VNYL in the East Village for some free rosé daily from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Order any snack or shared plate and you'll receive one free glass of Maison Saleya Rosé. Order any of the "Plates," like Chicken Kiev ($24), a Burger ($18), or Bone-In Veal Milanese ($36) and it's bottomless rosé, baby.

Monday evening, adjacent to his tapas eatery Amada at Brookfield Place, chef Jose Garces opens a new pop-up sandwich and wine bar for lunch and evening, respectively. By day, the Bocadillo Bar will serve Spanish sandwiches including a Pavo with herb roasted turkey, brie, roasted peppers, romesco aioli and avocado ($13) and a Serranito with braised pork, serrano ham, hardboiled egg, garlic aioli, shishito peppers ($13). By night, the space transforms into a Wine Bar, offering 40 wines by the glass alongside Spanish nibbles like cheese, charcuteria, tapas and Montados, mini sandwiches.
