New York City’s Top Sweet Spots to See!

But what’s among the most-improvised of NYC food trends? Unsurprisingly, ice cream. Though the temperatures have dropped well below 40 degrees, it’s the perfect time to hit up some of the popular ice cream spots included here because there’s almost never a line.

Here’s a few great places to go with your family whenever you’re in the mood for sweets. There’s something for everyone, from chocolate to matcha, or even a warm bowl of oatmeal.
