It takes very little convincing to get us to the ice cream shop. Rocky road for lunch, you say? Don’t mind if we do. The only thing harder than choosing a flavor is narrowing down a place to go — especially since New York is home to many must-try confectioneries. So, we spoke with food writer Julia Turshen about our addiction conundrum. She went ahead and curated the best of the best — the cream of the cream, if you will. Ahead, Turshen walks us through the eight best places to grab a cone (or three) in NYC this summer.
