My search for the best ice cream in New York continues …. Fish ice cream sounds pretty weird and potentially disgusting to most. I would be one of the crazy people who would actually try it.

SADLY, MIKEY LIKES IT ICE CREAM IS NOW CLOSED. I feel pretty bad about this review. I don’t loke criticizing small businesses that are doing their best to invest in and embrace the community. I like Mikey Likes It. The owner was on premises and thanked me for my support. I also like the concept …
SADLY, 10BELOW ICE CREAM IS NOW CLOSED. The face of ice cream (and food in general) is changing in this city.

My search for the best ice cream in New York continues …. SADLY, HAY ROSIE CRAFT ICE CREAM IS NOW CLOSED. When it comes to ice cream, I’m about as far away from a “vanilla person” as can be. For me, the weirder, the better. I’m always intrigued when somebody attempts to make an ice cream …
I bring my sense of food adventure with me on the road, searching for the most authentic, iconic, and delicious dishes of a different region… I never thought I’d say this, but if I didn’t live in New York City, I might move to Vermont. I’m sure my excitement and high from my recent trip …
My search for the best ice cream in New York continues …. SADLY, JE & JO IS NOW CLOSED. There’s a tiny shop called Je & Jo that serves really interesting homemade organic ice cream. I have no idea how I knew it was there since it is nestled deep into west Hell’s Kitchen almost at …
