"While we’re crazy about the luscious dips and pillowy breads at this Mediterranean restaurant in Chelsea, sibling to Shuka, Shukette’s tahini soft-serve sundae is also nonnegotiable. The Mic Drop happens to be vegan, made with oat milk, but the ice cream is nevertheless next-level creamy. It comes topped with toasted hazelnuts, pomegranate molasses, and a cotton candy-adjacent cloud of halva floss, so it looks—not to mention tastes—like it just floated down from heaven." - carina finn koeppicus, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
