Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream Shop @ 48 E 7th St, NYC
When ice cream pops into your head, aside from Summer, you’re probably thinking cream. While Van Leeuwen’s Artisan Ice Cream offers dairy-full ice creams, they also have amazing, out-of-this-world vegan ice cream. Even better, they have flavors that are typically made of dairy-like salted caramel 🙂 Interested yet?
Last week, my friends and I went on a foodie adventure to Smorgasburg in Prospect Park, an outdoor market full of small pop-up restaurant stands.
Walking in, Smorgasburg appears to be its own bustling metropolis centered purely on food from local vendors.  It was truly a wonderland; I talked to fellow food enthusiasts on line, met the chefs of the stands, and best of all, I had the chance to try out innovative food with my friends.  There are over 75 stands, each with their own unique menu.  Below, I’ve put together the 5 best stands (including dairy & gluten-full ones my friends enjoyed).
