La Newyorkina.

Worth it, says Antonina. It’s hard to think of a more refreshing ice cream in New York City during hot summer days.

Best ice cream in New York

No. 7 on that list
Worth it
  • Address61 Commerce St, Brooklyn, NY
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

La Newyorkina is a favorite with locals for refreshing paletas (fruity popsicles), a quintessential frozen treat from Mexico. The passion project of Fany Gerson, a Mexico-born New Yorker on a mission to bring the her beloved childhood treats to the Big Apple, who started selling treats at pop-ups in food stores.

She finally opened her own shop (located in Red Hook) but makes frequent appearances with a pushcart on the High Line. It’s hard to think of a more refreshing ice cream in New York City during hot summer days.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
