Oddfellows Ice Cream Turns Into After-Hours Dance Party | Eater NY

"At the Domino Park location of OddFellows Ice Cream Co., I watched the room transform into an after-hours dance party — usually closed at midnight, the shop was packed for the 13th edition of Sundae Sauuce, an event series started in 2021 by Travis George to “break bread” between artists and fans. DJs played bass-heavy sets that made the sidewalk vibrate while an under-30 crowd danced and ground, often balancing cones like a blood orange ice cream topped with rainbow sprinkles; flavors on offer included cookies and mint, kitchen sink (with potato chips), a maple version, and a likely caffeine-forward coffee crunch. Co-founder Mohan Kumar said George’s social reach and passion for emerging artists made him the right partner, and the Domino Park location’s liquor license lets the shop earn money after regular hours. Attendees described the party as a refreshing, lower-pressure alternative to booze-focused nightlife — one guest, Jalen D., summed it up: “Alcohol is out” — though drinks like White Claws were still available. Staffer Lamar noted most orders come early in the night and praised how “respectful” the crowd had been; a DJ even reminded people to tip. Regulars like Nyisha Plaza (who came from Westchester after finding the event on Instagram) said she keeps returning because it’s a safe place to be herself and make friends, and a visitor from London called it a “unique and special experience.” By the May 6 event, about 120 people had stopped by, and the night wrapped around 2 a.m., a scene that felt like a Mister Softee truck with a disco ball and a SoundCloud playlist away from full-on nostalgia." - Emma Orlow
