Big Gay Ice Cream

In honor of Pride, I’m featuring one of New York’s most fabulous and delicious ice cream shops. What began as a seasonal food truck concept has evolved into an iconic chain of the sparkliest, most creative ice cream combos. My kids and I love visiting Big Gay Ice Cream for all the reasons. It’s always a fun experience that majorly satisfies that summer cold treat craving. Offering fresh ice cream sandwiches, milkshakes, incredible cone and shake flavors, and even non dairy popsicles, BGIC has something for everyone. I’m partial to the Dorothy seen below since she is my favorite Golden Girl. That Monday Sundae is calling my name though. There are several locations throughout the City, and it’s a must visit whether or not you’re local or visiting (especially if you’re visiting!). Enjoying simple, wholesome pleasures such as a delicious ice cream cone on a hot summer day will never get old. The lines at Big Gay Ice Cream are proof of this. In the midst of whatever else may be going on in the world (and at the moment there are many painful challenges we are facing as a country), exquisite comfort in the form of creative ice cream serves as a reminder that there’s always sweetness to be tasted as well.
