This is not your ordinary ice cream shop! What started as a seasonal ice cream truck by 2 long time New Yorkers has grown into a year round NYC ice cream staple. BGIC has won a slew of awards in its 10 year lifespan, including #1 Ice Cream Shop in the United States and #5 Ice Cream Shop in the World! (as rated by USA Today).
They combine old school custard style ice cream with fresh new flare. A classic favorite is “The Dorothy”: Vanilla Ice Cream that has been injected with Dulce de Leche and rolled in crushed Nilla Wafers. YUM! Every now and then they get real crazy with their flavor combos and have limited time specials. As you will see below, our most recent trip to BGIC included the limited time Conan O’Brien special which consisted of thick vanilla ice cream layered and rolled in crushed Cheetos. I know what you are thinking, but don’t knock it ’til you try it!! These guys know how create an ice cream twist that will blow your mind!
