"So you decided to try to outsmart the shore traffic and take the ferry from Manhattan to the beach. Well played. What you didn't bank on was roasting in the sun for 40 minutes to find yourself reaching the shores of Jersey in a translucent sweat-drenched shirt. The good news is that you’re a few minutes from an ice cream therapy session at Nicholas Creamery. Nicholas is a name that for years was synonymous with seasonal fine dining in New Jersey, but now they’ve taken that same local ingredient sourcing approach to ice cream. Expect flavors like chocolate caramel pretzel, honey lavender, and brown sugar cookie dough, and enjoy them all in made-to-order waffle cones or as the centerpiece in their fantastic milkshakes.
