The Scoop–Literally.
Call it coincidence if you will, but we did predict last month that Hell’s Kitchen would be a great place for food in 2007, and with the impending April arrival of Alphabet City refugee NYC Icy, it looks like the H.K. might prove us right sooner rather than later. The new frozen dessert outlet will open in the former florist’s shopfront adjacent to another Tenth Avenue fave, Lali. We’re already thinking ahead to stopping in for an afternoon order of pescado frito at Lali, followed by a cooling scoop of NYC Icy’s signature chocolate pepper ice. And although I never thought I’d be talking up cold food in this bracing weather, it is hard to deny that Hell’s Kitchen has long been lacking a decent purveyor of frozen sweets. Stay tuned…more in two months.
NYC Icy (open soon), 628 Tenth Avenue (at 45th Street), no telephone number yet.
