Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice-Cream Truck

Location: We came across it on University and E 12th. It's there from 8-11pm; from noon to 7pm, it's at Greene and Prince. (vanleeuwenicecream.com)


Thanks go out to Sylvia for introducing me to the delights of this truck. I had a scoop each of gianduja (hazelnut-chocolate) and strawberry. The strawberry was outstanding - so fresh and fruity it almost tasted like sorbet. The guy manning the truck was really nice, too. Definitely an "I Love NY" moment for me.

According to their website, they use top quality local ingredients, all their disposable goods are made from 100% renewable resources, and they donate 1% of their profits to protect the endangered mountain gorilla. How cool is that?!
