Top 8 Ice Cream Parlors to Visit in New York City

Ralph’s Italian Ices

If you take a trip to Staten Island, Long Island or Queens, you may come face to face with one of the Ralph’s Italian Ices. And I strongly advise you to stop there and of course taste their succulent ice creams. Because Ralph’s is one of the most famous ice cream parlors in all of New York!

Here, the ice creams are fresh, inexpensive and above all delicious!!!

Initially, there was only one in Long Island, then eventually it became a franchise that expanded in the boroughs of New York: Staten Island, Long Island, Queens and even in the neighboring state , New Jersey.

The Big Gay Ice Cream

Just its name already makes you smile!!!

Doug Quint and Bryan Petroff began their adventure aboard a food truck where they sold their ice creams. Success was very quickly achieved and since then, the food truck has been gone, and it’s time for the shops!

Plus, when you see that they combine unreal but tasty and interesting ice cream flavors like olive oil, sea salt or bacon, it shows a bit of the personality of these ice cream parlors!!! Their mascot?
A unicorn. Their specialty? The Slaty Pimp (salty pimp)

Van Leuween’s ice creams are made from fresh produce, without additives and served in biodegradable cups. Earl gray, mint and walnut flavors coexist with the usual vanilla and chocolate flavors.

Ample Hills Creamery

Ample Hills Creamery has the reputation of being one of the best ice cream parlors in the United States, no less! the ice creams are made on site, everything is artisanal and only seasonal and local products are used. Here, everything is customizable, even the cone with your choice of chocolate, pretzel or simply biscuit flavor.

The ice cream laboratory

If you’re shopping in Soho on Broadway and craving ice cream, take Broome Street and go straight to the intersection with Orchard Street. It’s a 10 minute walk, but you’ll see that you won’t regret it!!!

Located between Little Italy and the East Village, this Italian ice cream parlor (you will recognize it!) is very recognized by both New Yorkers and the media. He has been on TV many times and has had numerous articles in the newspapers.

You can taste the best ice creams in New York (for some), plus delicious Italian coffees (and not American ones!!!). You will see that in terms of flavors, you will have a lot of choice, with once again very original flavors like Cheddar, Wasabi, basil, olive, etc.

Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain

Brooklyn Farmacy is a former pharmacy from the 1920s converted into an ice cream parlor. It delights gourmets with seasonal products.

You can enjoy ice cream there (sundaes, banana splits, etc.)milkshakes of all kinds but also, the specialty of the Brooklyn Farmacy the famous ice cream soda (a scoop of ice cream dipped in soda)!

Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory

Have you just crossed the Brooklyn Bridge on foot and feel like a little ice cream would be welcome? Don’t hesitate to go to Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory!

It’s crowded but it goes pretty quickly! There is not much choice in flavors but at least it is the assurance of having traditional and natural ice creams 😉

Let yourself be tempted by vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, peaches and cream, coffee… Simple flavors, sure values!

Jamba Juice

Jamba Juiceis not an ice cream parlor but the brand is very well known in the United States 😉 This is the place to go if you are looking for cold fruit and even vegetable drinks!!!

You can make dozens of different cocktails, but this time without alcohol! 😉 It’s ideal for a healthy break! The fruits are fresh and seasonal. It’s a real sure bet, in short a real good deal!!!

Conclusion on my good tips for cooling off in New York

If you are hot, very hot or simply curious or even worse greedy (I’m more the 4th me 🙂 ), I invite you to come and taste these few ice cream parlors that I have chosen. Of course, this little list is not at all exhaustive, because you will see that after taking your flight from Paris to New York and landing in the Big Apple, you will have a large choice of ice cream parlors and places to rehydrate and cool off.
Of course, it’s always better to find a good ice cream parlor to also have FUN!!!! 🙂
