The 9 Best Shaved Ice Spots In NYC
"Matcha usually plays the backup singer at most cafes, but it’s the headlining act at Matcha Cafe Maiko in Chinatown. The refreshing matcha syrup-infused shaved ice has chunkier crystals, so the ice has a crunchy consistency. We like topping ours with Calpico soft serve, and waiting until the cream begins to melt and meld with the ice. You can also add toppings like cheese foam, chocolate syrup, or a waffle cone. This location has only one small ledge and no tables, but you’ll inhale your order within minutes, so there’s really no reason to linger." - kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus
