Baltimore-based Pitango Gelato officially opens its first D.C.-area location today. Located across from the P Street Whole Foods, it is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. And Virginians, don't fret, as another Pitango will be opening soon in Reston Town Center.

Big companies, we dare you to give away more free stuff this summer. We triple dog dare you. But this one is pretty good, at least for those folks living in Virginia. Multi-day, multi-location free gelato from Ciao Bella, a New York-based gelateria, whose pints retail for around $3-4.

Two floods, two ruined wooden floors and a broken AC compressor later, Dolcezza's second location in Bethesda Row finally opened two weeks ago. Now that the shop has had a little time to perfect serving their Argentinean-style gelato - in addition to churning out 300 lbs of various flavors, all from locally sourced ingredients - they'll be throwing a grand opening fiesta tonight from 6 - 11 p.m. They expect "mass gelato pandemonium" as they give away all 300 lbs of the frozen treat. Although it may be a bit out the way, we recommend getting there early to secure a cup before it all runs out.
