See the 500-Year-Old Technique Behind NYC's First Stretchy Ice Cream at Republic of Booza

Booza is a unique type of stretchy ice cream originating in the Middle East that is the precursor to the mainstream ice cream we know and love today. There is only one place serving it up in New York City, and you can find it at Williamsburg's Republic of Booza in traditional and modern flavors. Learn more about it in this video from our friends at Insider.

[WATCH] Idiot Ferrari Driver Runs Over NYPD Officer's Foot Trying to Escape Parking Ticket

Car enthusiast and YouTuber Damrys7 was recently filming a nice Ferrari on the streets of SoHo when he ended up capturing this scene involving a rich Ferrari owner trying to escape a parking ticket and ending up assaulting an officer with a deadly weapon. He explains:

I was walking around Soho, NYC today when I stumbled upon this Ferrari 458 Spider with a cop writing a ticket next to it. I started to record the situation because I thought it'd make a cool video, little did I know what I was in for. As soon as I started recording the owner of the car appeared and got in it. He slowly started moving since he refused to accept the ticket (the car was parked in a hotels valet zone and the hotel valet had the keys, I myself don't understand why the cop was giving him the ticket, it was approved by the hotel that the car was parked there.) The cop then told him to stop but he proceeded to move forward. Now at this point I believe the cops foot was under the front drivers side tire. Yet again the owner moved the car forward and apparently he somewhat ran over the cops foot (or at least that's what can be made out from everything in the video, others at the scene claimed otherwise.) This triggered the cop and he slammed his hand into the drivers window and proceed to open the door (notice how many times he bumped it into the taxi cab) and pull the driver out forcefully. The driver was then thrown on the ground and handcuffed and arrested. The owners girlfriend seen in the video is also Stephanie Pratt from the MTV hit show, The Hills. The car did suffer some damage, paint chips on the door from when the cop slammed it into the cab and some scuffs by the engine bay shown in the last scene of this video. Pretty crazy situation, I was definitely at the right place at the right time!
