Ice Cream Sales Support Refugees At LES Restaurant Wednesday

LOWER EAST SIDE, NY — Lower East Side restaurant Les Enfants de Bohème will donate a portion of its Adirondack Creamery ice cream sales Wednesday for World Refugee Day.

Known for its unique scoops, the upstate New York-based Adirondack Creamery makes 17 flavors including black raspberry, banana chip and caramel apple.

Last October, the creamery launched a Syrian date and walnut flavor for which 50 percent of the proceeds are donated to the International Rescue Committee to aid Syrian refugees. The flavor was inspired by the middle-eastern treat Ma’amoul, a shortbread pastry filled with dates and nuts enjoyed by Syrians on religious holidays.

Now in honor of World Refugee Day, Les Enfants de Bohème at Henry and Jefferson street will donate $1 for every sale of Adirondack Creamery ice cream sold at the eatery. Swing by for a cone or cup of the Syrian date and walnut flavor or any other from 11 a.m. until 2 a.m. Wednesday.
