Fashion Scoop or Scoops..Sundaes & Cones
These days everywhere you turn there is a new Pinkberry and Red Mango duking it out for your frozen treat attention. (look for the link to a post I wrote about PinkB in LA last year). While the design of both those chain stores is cute - I have another option that gives you just that - OPTIONS. Welcome to Sundaes and Cones on 10th street between 3rd and 4th Avenue ( yes one does exist all you uptowners!). The minute you step inside this little ice cream shop you can't help but smile. The simple and sweet decorations evoke feelings of an old fashioned soda shop. The place feels like it has been there for decades, serving generations of kids of all ages.
The flavors however are anything but old fashioned - at least by American Standards. The Japanese influence is all over the menu. Atypical tastes like Sweet Corn, Taro Root, Red Bean, and Green Tea are all worth trying. Of course there are old standards like Rocky Road and Mint-Chocolate Chip! Be adventurous and try something you haven't had before! Especially since the staff is super friendly and gives sample tastes of flavors with a smile!
** The shop also makes beautiful ice cream cakes that would make any dinner party crowd so happy you are on the guest list! (be sure to order ahead).
And for all of you that watch the gossip blogs - Yes that was little Suri Cruise and her famous dad posing outside this past weekend. Seems like Tom likes the hard packed frozen treats as well! I hope this doesn't mean the Scientology protesters are going to stake out the place! Leave Zenu out of my guilty pleasure!!
