Artisanal ice cream with inventive flavors & house-made cones
"The shop has offered a tomato‑Gruyère ice cream, an example of a savory-profiled frozen flavor that challenges expectations of sweet ice cream." - Bettina Makalintal
"Do goat cheese and habanero belong in ice cream? If you add malt to cookie dough, does it make it taste better? Those are the questions Salt & Straw asks, and the answers are probably not and absolutely, respectively. The Portland-based ice cream chain, which has two NYC locations including this one in the West Village, isn’t bound by tradition. In addition to signature flavors like chocolate gooey brownie and sea salt with caramel ribbons, they offer monthly specials ranging from huckleberry cornbread pudding to pastrami on rye. Some work better than others, but all of them are, at the very least, worth exploring." - Bryan Kim
"A must-visit for dessert fans; rolling out a rotating selection of flavors, starting with Birthday Cakes and Blackberries, a gooey, sweet concoction that has bits of crumble in it and a ribbon of blackberry jam running through it." - Harry Cheadle
"An artisan ice cream brand offering Thanksgiving-themed flavor bundles, including crowd-pleasing pumpkin spiced tiramisu and more adventurous flavors such as turkey stuffing with cranberry sauce." - Monica Burton
"A number of ice cream brands have released holiday riffs on traditional Thanksgiving desserts; this brand, for example, has produced Parker House rolls with salted buttercream and sweet potato casserole ice creams (the author notes they will stop short of endorsing turkey stuffing and cranberry sauce flavors)." - Monica Burton
