Cones Artisanal Ice Cream Since 1998

"A New York Post article from 1999 hangs in the window at Cones in the West Village, and we have a feeling nothing has changed about this place since then. The 32 different flavors might feel overwhelming, but think of it as a dying art that you can’t take for granted, like hailing a yellow taxi cab, or long menus at diners. You can’t really go wrong, but we like the mint chocolate chip, and once had a pleasant corn flavor. The homemade hot fudge is a very good idea, but we probably didn’t actually have to tell you that." - Carina Finn Koeppicus, Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang, Willa Moore, Sonal Shah

"Anyone who has visited Buenos Aires knows that Argentine has its own distinct gelato flavors, and this type of particularly creamy product has been on display in Greenwich Village since 1998 at Cones. Though most of the flavors will be familiar — berry, dairy, nut, chocolate, and citrus — there are many South American flavors not to be found other places, such as corn, mate, sweet potato-brie, and dulce de leche." - Melissa McCart, Robert Sietsema
