The Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory.

Worth it, says Antonina. Known for a unique offering of ice cream flavors, adventurous palates can indulge in flavors like black sesame, match, lychee, and durian.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Forget chocolate and vanilla, at the Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory exciting Asian-inspired flavors (like lychee, black sesame, and ube) reign supreme. Scoop up swirls of red bean or indulge in the creamy comfort of don tot (Chinese egg custard). Every flavor is made in small batches daily, and crafted with fresh ingredients.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Thisn’t just a typical NYC ice cream shop, this family-run business has been a staple in Chinatown for 40 years, it’s a business you can feel good about supporting.
