Emack & Bolio’s: Known for its insane waffle cones coated in everything from Fruity Pebbles to Rice Krispies Treats to Oreos, this Upper East Side ice cream shop is the perfect place to stop (and Instagram) after a day in Central Park.
KITH Treats: If you’re heading to Brooklyn, turn your breakfast into dessert at this sweet spot. The first NYC cereal shop, you can turn any of your favorite cereals into soft-serve, making it the most delicious mix ever.
ChikaLicious: I can’t resist a churro, so when ChikaLicious made into an ice cream cone, I was there in a flash. This cinnamon pastry cone offers the best of both worlds, a flaky pastry and creamy ice cream.
Morgenstern’s: Despite its old school soda shop feel, Morgenstern’s is anything but dated with its wide range of unique flavors, such as Salt & Pepper Pinenut, Burnt Honey Vanilla and Banana Curry. The shop has also began a tradition of celebrating Kayne West’s birthday all week long in June with Kayne-themed sundaes and flavors, creating hour-long lines for the limited-edition flavors.
Davey’s Ice Cream: Nothing beats a Brownie Sundae from Davey’s, but all of the homemade flavors are also delicious.
Van Leeuwen: Even though I love all the crazy ice cream in the city, my all-time favorite is the Honeycomb ice cream from Van Leeuwen. And, if you’re vegan, it also offers many vegan and lactose-free flavors to make sure everyone can satisfy their sugar craving.
Eggloo: One of the most Instagrammable ice creams in NYC right now can be found in Chinatown at Eggloo. These Hong Kong egg waffles are filled with giant scoops of ice cream and as many toppings as you want, creating one crazy and delicious cone!
