Murray’s Ice Cream is open again — can summer be far away?

Last week, Murray Nixon opened her namesake ice-cream and cookie emporium in Westport for her 27th season. Tomorrow she introduces her newest flavor: Red Velvet Cake.

“There’s 5 pounds of cake in every tub of ice cream,” Nixon says. She adds that her red-velvet cake is a vivid burgundy, but it’s made the traditional way: with cocoa.
