FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — An ice cream shop in Forest Hills is set to open for the last time in a couple of weeks after six years in business, according to the owner.
Diana Priya, the owner of I CE NY, which doubles as the soup and salad eatery EFresh, blamed high rent and food prices for the closure after struggling to stay open.
“As with any business, I'm sure there are dozens of things we could have done differently,” Priya said in a Facebook post. “It becomes very tiring and unrewarding at some point and that's where we are now.”
