"There are plenty of vegan options on this list for the lactose-intolerant among us. But if you’re the kind of lactose-intolerant person who eats dairy anyway and suffers the consequences, you should know that Soho’s Softside doesn’t just sell light, airy, soft serve—they sell Lactaid, too. Order a pistachio and strawberry swirl, or some vanilla in a cup drizzled with olive oil. Softside is from the team behind Upside Pizza right next door, so you can chase your cone with a pepperoni slice (or vice versa)." - willa moore, hannah albertine, arden shore, molly fitzpatrick
"Soho slice shop Upside serves soft serve at a separate kiosk, Soft Side, as well as from a machine inside of its pizzeria in Greenpoint. Load up on pies and then cool down with something sweet. Flavors include strawberry, pistachio, chocolate, and vanilla, two of which may be combined in a single swirl. Toppings range from rainbow sprinkles to ground-up Oreos, and milkshakes are also available." - John Tsung
"Softside doesn’t just sell soft ice cream—they sell Lactaid, too. It’s the kind of super millennial touch that could be annoying, if the ice cream wasn’t so good. But it is good: it’s light, airy, and creamy, and you can get your standard chocolate-dipped cone, but also a pistachio and strawberry swirl, or some vanilla in a cup swimming with olive oil. The walk-up window in Soho is open every day, which means that you never have to scour the streets of Manhattan for the ice cream truck again. Yes, the prices are higher, but the swirls are huge. Softside is from the team behind right next door, so you can chase your pepperoni slice with Lactaid and a cone (or vice versa). Note that in the winter, this place operates as Soupside, serving different seasonal soups. " - Willa Moore
