"Surreal Creamery isn’t just fun to say, it’s also fun to visit. This ice cream spot off of 2nd Avenue in Murray Hill makes soft serve flavors that feel almost inconceivable. (Except we're grateful that someone conceived them.) There's a cookies and cream flavor the exact shade of Cookie Monster, as well as toppings like Lucky Charms and Teddy Grahams. And you can get your soft serve in a cup full of bubble tea or a sundae in a mason jar. If you’re closer to Greenwich Village, Surreal also has a location there.
