Longford's Ice Cream-RYE

8 Nostalgic Spots Within An Hour's Drive Of NYC

"You’ll undoubtedly see several children with blue-stained lips while waiting in line at Longford’s, an ice cream shop on the posh main drag of Rye, New York. Longford’s infamous cookie monster ice cream is the scourge of toothbrushes after many a birthday party on this side of Westchester County. The blue vanilla ice cream is tastier than it looks, and the mint chip is perfect after a hot day riding the rickety Dragon Coaster, a ride that’s been ringing with shrieks of joy since 1929 at Playland, a historic amusement park nearby." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman
