Ample Hills Creamery at The Social Brooklyn

16 Essential Ice Cream Shops in New York City

"In the spring and summer, the crowds at this Prospect Heights ice cream shop spill out onto the sidewalk — a small block party made up of teenagers, families, and their pets. The Social comes from Jackie Cuscuna and Brian Smith, the founders of ice cream chain Ample Hills, which opened its first storefront in 2011, filed for bankruptcy during the pandemic, and is now owned by food manufacturer Schmitt Industries. Cuscuna and Smith went on to open this ice cream shop in 2021, where scoops come in whimsical flavors like popcorn, Cap’n Crunch, and hot dog." - Eater Staff
