Eating out in New York City is bliss. There are hundreds of restaurants to choose from, each having their own distinct specialties. But NYC is not just about steaks, hamburgers and pizza, it's also a paradise for desserts.
And what is one of the world's famous desserts? Ice cream. And here in NYC, there are several ice cream shops that made a standing impression for dessert lovers. Here are some of them:
Davey's Ice Cream. This colorful ice cream shop owned David Yoo is a pretty sight when you're walking down First Avenue. Go inside and you'll be rewarded by the sweet smell of delicious, fresh ice cream-each batch delicately made to perfection. If you're ever in the East Village, spoil yourself with this awesome treat.
Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream. This ice cream shop lives up to its name because every flavor they serve dawdles on exquisite finery. For those sugar-conscious health advocates, you'll be glad to know that Morgenstern's ice creams are low in butterfat and sugar content, which you wouldn't actually notice because they still taste really good. Stop feeling guilty and help yourself to several scoops!
Mikey Likes It Ice Cream. This ice cream shop is one of the most divine in NYC. And the whole place is quite brainy too-their flavors especially named from reference pop culture and the like. Treat yourself to their specialty flavors like the Kissing Cousins and Sky's The Limit, you'll never notice where your money went. But don't feel bad in shelling out for ice cream, because a percentage of this shop's profits goes to school programs for youth benefits.
10Below Ice Cream. Inspired by the ice cream shops in Thailand, owners Wilson and Richard Tam and partner David Chen have made their version a special treat for ice cream lovers in NYC. There's always a long queue outside their shop, which means that their ice cream is truly to die for. Once you get your cup of goodness you'll see that their ice cream is served in rose-shaped curls, contrary to common scoops.
Ample Hills Creamery. This is one of the favorite dessert haunts of Brooklynites, and frankly, we can't blame them. Brian Smith is one hell of an ice cream wizard, one proof is that his shop became so popular in four days when it opened, he had to expand his business right away! Still not convinced? Oprah loves this ice cream shop, and whatever Oprah says, it's true.
