Introducing #BackToSchool Seasonal Menu

Summer may be coming to an end, but ice cream season doesn’t. Heading in to Fall we could have focused on the warm flavors of spice and pumpkin like everybody else, but this year we decided to focus on “Back to School”. Inspired by our favorite books we read as a kid, we decided to take the concept of “Back to School” to the next level; books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, One Thousand and One Nights, Joy Luck Club, The Giving Tree, and the myth of Persephone and Hades. We wanted to capture the magic and joy of reading these books as a child and bring them to life in taste.

VIOLET

graham cracker, blueberry jam, violet marshmallow

Inspired by one of our favorite children’s books Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Violet is an evocative mix of graham cracker, blueberry jam, and housemade violet flower marshmallows. Like the iconic character, the flavor is a sassy blueberry pie of attitude with a play on texture that is sure to take you back to bedtime stories.

1,001

Moroccan mint tea leaf, cardamom soil

Deserts. Souks. The heat of mirage and spice. And the mystery of one thousand and one nights. Inspired by the tales of One Thousand and One nights, this flavor takes you on a journey through the tales of the Middle East and the fabled Aladdin. This delicate blend of Moroccan mint and cardamom will take you past the dunes to an exotic journey of flavor.

JOY LUCK

lychee, li hing mui, candied cashew

Inspired by the book, Joy Luck Club, this flavor is a journey of East meets West. Fusing lychee, li hing mui, and candied cashew, this flavor is a blend of traditional and contemporary. Notes of sweet flowery fruit speckled with salty nut will bring you back to the corner apothecary that nana used to go to.

GIVING TREE

green apple, matcha, apple cider ganache

There’s no greater joy than the love of child, so they say. Fortunately, we created that love in the Giving Tree with the wholesome blend of green apple, matcha, and apple cider ganache. Inspired by one of the greatest children’s books ever, the Giving Tree is a blend of the familiar with the exotic reminiscent of unconditional and romantic love.

PERSEPHONE

pomegranate, apricot jam

It’s already Fall, but we can’t wait for Spring. Inspired by the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades, Persephone is a taste of new Spring with pomegranate and apricot jam. This refreshing blend of sweet and tart will thaw even the coldest of winters and hearts.

 The Back to School seasonal menu is now available at the Lower East Side shop, Time Out Market New York, and Long Island City Pop-Up.

How to Ice & Vice New York

Celebrate the summer with us as we take over the city! This month, we’ve re-opened our seasonal locations, and as a surprise, we’ve opened a new one! Each location has its own personality, like siblings in a family, with its own flavors and specialty items. Wherever you are in New York, Ice & Vice is never too far away! This summer:

DUMBO

The newest location to join the Ice & Vice family, this booth sits in the new Time Out Market New York, with 20 other food vendors on the waterfront of DUMBO at 55 Water Street. Enjoy our iconic signature flavors, rotating seasonal flavors, and a few exclusive items. Exclusive items like the Banana Hammock sundae, consisting of our Monkey Bars ice cream on a bed of Nilla wafer crumb, paired with coconut caramel poached banana, and topped with brandied cherry compote and coconut chips. And for the first time, Ice & Vice will be serving milkshakes!

TIMES SQUARE

Our I SCREAM! Kiosk is re-opened for the summer with a new design, new menu, and a new charity partner. What’s the same? The mission of donating 5% of sales directly to charity. This year, we’ve partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union to bring awareness to immigration issues currently facing our country. We’re bringing delicious new flavors and sundaes inspired by global flavors such as alfajores, mango lassi, bridgadeiro, and banoffee. At the heart of Times Square, we’re currently located at 45th and Broadway, eventually moving back to our original location at 43rd and Broadway.

LONG ISLAND CITY

 We’ve returned to our LIC Pop-Up in William Lamson’s art studio at 27-20 Jackson Ave. back to where it all started. Going back to our humble beginnings and returning to one of the neighborhoods that started it all when we were at the food markets, we’re bringing our signature and seasonal flavors, and for the first time at this location, toppings! Our signature mural is now part of our LIC home to create the perfect art meets culinary experience.

LOWER EAST SIDE

Our flagship location in Manhattan at 221 East Broadway, our pride and joy, turns four this summer! The lab where all of our flavors, sundaes, and novelties are hatched and bred, returns stronger than ever. With crazy collaborations to new crazy pies, we have you covered for the summer. Just wait and see what we’ve concocted, and no better place than the artistic grit of the Lower East Side.

 And we still have one more surprise…
