This creamy, swirled creation tastes just like the milk at the bottom of your cereal bowl. When adventuring through New York City, be sure to stop at one of the various locations around Manhattan

Chinatown Ice Cream Factory

At Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, you can order regular flavors, sorbet flavors, and even exotic flavors. Their flavor variety ranges from black sesame to egg custard. A huge range of flavors to try and choose from.

Soft Swerve

Soft Swerve has revolutionized the way people think of soft serve ice cream. In an age where the food industry has made soft serve synonymous with frozen yogurt and ice cream trucks serving plain vanilla and chocolate, Soft Swerve reinvents this nostalgic treat turning it into something both captivating and delicious.
