Long Island Summer: Ice Cream is Calling Your Name
Ice cream and summer go better together. There's something really special about this cool, creamy dessert. Whether you prefer your ice cream in a cone or a bowl, you deserve to indulge your cravings. Luckily, July is National Ice Cream Month, and Long Island has some incredible ice cream shops where you can order your favorites. Here are some of the top spots our real estate agents recommend.
- Alkemy Ice Cream - 260 Main St., Huntington, NY 11743
Alkemy Ice Cream offers a truly unique ice cream experience. They use liquid nitrogen to freeze ice cream as they make it to order. You'll get to watch your ice cream being made right before your eyes. The result is not only beautiful but delicious.
Some favorites at Alkemy Ice Cream include their S'mores ice cream and Roasted Strawberry ice cream. Customers also love the Dark Chocolate ice cream, which can be ordered with a peanut butter ribbon and waffle wedge. This is the perfect treat after looking at Huntington homes for sale. - Carvel - 2 Audrey Ave., Oyster Bay, NY 11771
If you're looking at Oyster Bay homes for sale, then Carvel is just minutes away. This ice cream shop offers all the classics, including scooped ice cream, shakes, sundaes, and soft-serve.
One favorite at Carvel is their Oreo Cookie Sundae Dasher. It features layers of vanilla ice cream, Oreo cookie pieces, whipped cream, and fudge. For a handheld treat, try a Flying Saucer. This is Carvel's version of an ice cream sandwich made with classic chocolate chip cookies and covered in sprinkles. - Nana's Ice Cream and Coffee House - 225A Post Ave., Westbury, NY 11590
Nana's Ice Cream and Coffee House is conveniently located by some lovely Westbury homes for sale. They offer a full menu of breakfast items and coffee drinks, but they are particularly well known for their sundaes.
If you like peanuts, try the Face Full of Peanuts Sundae. It's made with peanut butter pretzel ice cream, Reese's Pieces, crushed peanuts, and peanut butter crunchies. The Strawberry Shortcake Sundae is also a hit and is a great choice if you're in the mood for something fruity. - Happy Family - 680 Jerusalem Ave., Uniondale, NY 11553
Happy Family is a juice bar and ice cream shop a short drive from many great Uniondale homes for sale. The shop sells smoothies, milkshakes, ice cream sundaes, coffee, and freshly squeezed juices, so there's a little something for everyone in your crew.
If you're really craving ice cream, you can't go wrong with the banana split from Happy Family. It's made traditionally with a whole banana, three scoops of ice cream, and plenty of sauce and whipped cream. The milkshakes are also thick and satisfying. - Fat Ernie's - 249-24 Jericho Turnpike, Floral Park, NY 11001
If you're looking at Floral Park homes for sale, then Fat Ernie's is the perfect spot to celebrate National Ice Cream Month. While they are best known for their cheesesteaks, this restaurant also serves Hershey's Ice Cream, which is a great way to complete a meal. Favorite flavors include Mint Chip and Cotton Candy.
In addition to scooped ice cream, Fat Ernie's serves milkshakes, which are thick and creamy. They have a great selection of chocolate-dipped waffle cones, including some topped with sprinkles or chocolate chips.
Whether you're a sundae person or a dedicated soft-serve fan, we hope you enjoy celebrating National Ice Cream Month at these Long Island shops. Contact us if you're new to the area and looking for a home. We'd love to help.
