With dozens of unbelievable ice cream shops in New York City, there’s truly no excuse for not regularly indulging in a cone or cup of frozen goodness this summer. Whether you’re a classic mint-chip gal or into more adventurous flavors like Malt Maitake Peanut, the Big Apple has something for everyone. Below are 12 of this city’s finest ice cream establishments, and since summer is approximately 12 weeks long, that means you can/should/must patronize at least one shop a week, brain freezes be damned.
ODDFELLOWS ICE CREAM CO.
Williamsburg-based
OddFellows slays the ice cream game. Not only are its scoops super high quality and creamy, but its flavors are some of the most inventive out there. Case in point: Ants on a Log, a celery sorbet streaked with peanut butter and studded with raisins. It shouldn’t work as a frozen treat, but it does. If you’re feeling extra hungry, stop by the OddFellows Sandwich Shop in the East Village for an “OddPocket,” an ice cream and toppings stuffed brioche bun heated on a panini press.
IL LABORATORIO DEL GELATO
Sorbet fans, this is where you want to get your fix.
Il Laboratorio del Gelato, located on the Lower East Side, boasts a growing list of over 200 gelato and sorbet flavors, including tarragon pink pepper, sour cream, and
fivedifferent types of apple. The ingredients used are sourced from all over the world, and purchased locally and organically when possible.
SUNDAES AND CONES
Sundaes and Cones is known for yummy exotic flavors like wasabi, ginger, corn, and black sesame. Although it’s only been open at its East Village location since 2006, Sundaes and Cones was actually established in 1991 in Brooklyn, making it one of the longest-standing spots on this list.
DAVEY’S ICE CREAM
If you’re in need of a late night dairy fix,
Davey's is the place to go. This crowd favorite, which has locations in Williamsburg and the East Village, is open until 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and until midnight Friday and Saturday. Made with local dairy from Battenkill Valley Creamery in Salem, N.Y., Davey’s ice cream comes in classic flavors like Cookies & Cream and Strawberry Swirl, and unique scoops like Speculoos and Guava Gingersnap Galore. Ask for it served between two homemade cookies, if you know what’s good for you.
BIG GAY ICE CREAM
Big Gay Ice Cream began as a humble truck in 2009, serving an updated take on classic soft-serve to folks all over Manhattan (think: swirly vanilla cones drizzled with olive oil and sea salt). In 2011, founders Douglas Quint and Bryan Petroff launched a more permanent operation in the East Village, followed by a second location in the West Village. Besides having an epic name, Big Gay Ice Cream is famous for its wacky soft-serve creations, like the Salty Pimp—a vanilla base covered in dulce de leche, chocolate dip, and sea salt—and the Mermaid Sundae, consisting of vanilla soft serve, key lime curd, crushed graham crackers, and whipped cream.
