"Caffè Panna is an instant NYC classic for a reason. It's the spot we find ourselves recommending most often for ice cream, thanks to the quality of their ingredients—whipped cream made from imported Italian dairy, fresh fruit from the Union Square farmer’s market—and the range of weekly-rotating flavors. At both the original Gramercy walk-up window and the larger Greenpoint location, there are almost no simple options. So expect to walk away holding an accessorized cup of pistachio fig affogato, an almond-Oreo sundae based on Italian tri-color cookies, or a limited availability sundae in collaboration with another NYC restaurant." - bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, kenny yang
