Summer in New York City just has a special vibe to it. Whether you enjoy reading in the park, exploring the various neighborhoods, or if you are an ice cream junkie like us. There is always something to do in the city. If you are curious to know what you can do in the city during the summer check out this guide. But for now, let’s explore some of our favorite ice cream shops in NYC.
Van Leeuwen
Is a classic go-to ice cream spot in NYC. They also have vegan ice cream!
Ample Hills Creamery
This is one of the largest ice cream factories and a great tourist destination if you are in Brooklyn.
Big Gay Ice Cream
One of the best soft-serve ice creams in the tri-state area.
Morgenstern’s
If you like textured ice cream this is the spot for you!
Emack and Bolio’s
They have a chain of ice cream shops in the U.S. so if you are in Boston check out their main one.
Davey’s
Located in the East Village, this is homemade and fresh ice cream!
OddFellows Ice Cream Co.
Of course their name says it all. They have over 500 wacky and weird flavors alongside the improved classics.
Il Laboratorio del Gelato
Who doesn’t love a good geloto or sorbet?
Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices
I mean who doesn’t love Italian ice cream? You have to give this place a try!
16 Handles
16 handles serves frozen yogurt, ice cream & smoothies with a variety of flavors & toppings. They just partnered with Do, NYC’s favorite edible cookie dough. So make sure to give that a try!
Pinkberry
If ice cream isn’t your thing there always is frozen yogurt.
Mister Softee / Ice cream trucks
A childhood memory when you hear the chime of the ice cream truck driving by. When my husband first moved to the U.S. this was quite the experience for us. Even though it was pouring rain I said you have to run and get ice cream from the ice cream truck!
Comment below what your favorite ice cream shops in NYC are. We would love to know and give them a try!
Squeee these all look incredible!
Although, this makes me sad as the best ice-cream place in Vancouver recently closed…I guess now I need the orders to open and an excuse to visit NYC! 😉
Oh! why would you post such mouthwatering pictures! Its summer here and I am looking at them one after other. Saving this for some guilty trip later. Thank you for sharing them.
Wish I had seen this post a month ago! We just visited NYC and your cool ice cream recommendations would have been so helpful
Ahh! I want to eat all of them! I am visiting NYC in November and will have to check some of these out. Thanks!
Oooh, I love all of your photos! I can’t wait to travel again – NYC is the first place I’ll be going to!
We had an OddFellows open right outside Boston! I love their ice cream flight!
The research for this post and the pics must have been such drudgery! Ice cream over and over and over. Seriously you made my mouth water with your fantastic pics. The next time I am in NYC…
omg these all look so cute and yummy! I definitely need to make ice cream a priority on my next trip to NYC!
Wow they all look good but I just love ice cream in general anyways! Plus the iconic Serendipity…
What gorgeous picture! Except now I am craving ice cream! I will save for my future trips to NYC so I can check them all out!
