Tangysweet Opens In Dupont
Opening: June 6, 2008
Today (6/6) is the opening of Tangysweet and they are giving out free samples. I won’t pretend that I’m not going just to see the tables that change color, but you can go for the Pinkberry style fro-yo and fruit if you want. Check out the latest flavor import from LA.
