"Everyone seems to like, even love, Mikey Likes It Ice Cream. The flavors of the month are inspired by music icons like Michael Jackson, Tupac, and Mary J. and come with all kinds of sugary-fixin’s. Each month an artist is invited to paint the shop’s gate with the feature flavor. Keep an eye out for upcoming events because Mikey has quite the celeb following." - Champions
"“American Son is probably one of the most powerful performances of Kerry Washington’s career. I say that because she performed it for three months on Broadway before Netflix decided to create the film version. On the surface, it’s a story about a mother and a father who spend a night at a Florida police precinct while trying to find their missing son. But as tensions rise, themes of race, gender, parenting, and policing come to the forefront. Whether you miss Scandal or want to learn more about how American families suffer from the issue of racial bias within our country’s police force, this is a great watch.” -ND Order:“Southern Hospitality” Butter Pecan Ice Cream from Mikey Likes It" - hannah albertine, nikko duren, arden shore
"I learned that Mikey Likes It, a beloved East Village scoop shop, closed as part of a company restructuring with plans to open multiple new locations and a flagship in spring 2023, and the team cited pandemic hardships and issues with their landlord." - Luke Fortney
"An East Village ice cream staple that opened in 2013, Mikey Likes It is closing on Avenue A after owner Michael “Mikey” Cole said they "were just not able to recover fast enough and come to terms with our current landlord," and framed the closure as part of a wider reorganization to expand products and services to the global market. I’ve always enjoyed their creative flavors — notably the Southern Hospitality with hunks of pecan pie, which even caught the attention of celebrities like Jay-Z — and Cole says he’s already plotting a comeback with a flagship planned for spring 2023." - Emma Orlow
"Mikeystein Long Sleeve, $35 The ice cream from Mikey Likes It in the East Village could easily work as its own gift. But in case you don’t want to deal with the logistics of melting temperatures, consider this long sleeve, Frankenstein-themed shirt instead. We love that the front logo glows in the dark, and that the combination of ice cream and gothic fiction is just strange enough to make someone ask “where’d you get that shirt?”" - hannah albertine
