Van Leeuwen Ice Cream

What started as a yellow truck on the streets of New York has grown into a nationwide scoop shop staple. Located right by the Times Square stairs, the counter lets visitors sample flavors before choosing across a menu that ranges from chocolate pistachio milkshakes and hazelnut sundaes to baked cookies. Plant-based choices feature tailored creations like coconut-free Vegan Earth Day, vegan mango sticky rice, and banana pudding. Lines routinely stretch out the door, but service moves fast whether grabbing a single scoop or picking up pints to go.
