Greenwich Village Ice Cream Store Named Among Best In United States

VILLAGE, NY — It is time to celebrate whenever you get named among the best in the country, and a Greenwich Village ice cream shop just got named one of the top spots in the United States.

At the end of last week, Thrillist published its annual list of "The 40 Best Ice Cream Shops in the U.S."

Only two New York spots made the ranking, but one of them is a popular spot in Greenwich Village — Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream.

Morgenstern's flagship is located at 88 W. Houston St., and is known for such creations as its Banana Frosted Flakes Sunday, Vietnamese Coffee Rum Shake, and its Burnt Bourbon Vanilla.

The ice cream shop breaks its unique flavors into 15 different categories: classics, vanillas, chocolates, cookies, caramels, miscellaneous, coffees, strawberries, peaches, raspberries, bananas, tropics, nuts, citrus, and sorbets.

Here's what the people from Thrillist had to say about the Lower Manhattan spot.

"With its flagship location on Houston Street plus an LES storefront, the menu at this “new American ice cream parlor” offers up to 55 flavors, with some favorites being Burnt Honey Vanilla, Olive Oil Chocolate Eggplant, Green Tea Pistachio, and Crème Brûlée," Thrillit editors wrote.

"In addition to cold treats, Morgenstern’s also launched a special burger program last summer with a lineup of specialty burgers that founder Nick Morgenstern spent two years developing," Thrillist added. "But when it comes to their renowned ice cream, hop on this summer’s hottest new flavor: Pineapple Salted Egg Yolk."
