Experimental ice cream with unique flavors like Opium Den

"Ice & Vice in New York also released an Everything Bagel flavor ice cream." - Jaya Saxena
"A self-proclaimed experimental ice cream shop, Ice & Vice makes its flavors with ingredients like chili lime plantain chips and lemon charcoal. Thankfully, this LES spot knows how to make complicated things actually taste good. Our recommendation? Go with your gut. Like most major TV networks today, this ice cream shop knows how to cater to several different niche audiences at the same time. But just in case you’re curious, the last thing we tried here was the “Opium Den,” which is full of toasted poppy seeds and lemon bread croutons." - Nikko Duren
"It’s been ten years since former mayor Bloomberg closed Times Square to vehicular traffic, but it takes more than pedestrian plazas and “designated activity zones” to lure any sane New Yorker to the O.K. Corral of costumed hustler vs. unwitting tourist. It takes something like the “Know Your Rights,” a sweet-tart sundae that does a boffo impersonation of a mango lassi and is available only at this seasonal, politically minded satellite of the Lower East Side ice-cream parlor Ice & Vice. The soft serve is flavored with Mexican vanilla and black-lava sea salt. Mango takes the delectable forms of both liquid yogurt and fruit purée. And the icing on the cake (or, in this case, the dusting of cardamom sugar on the sundae): Five percent of the stand’s sales benefits the New York Civil Liberties Union."
