NYC ICY is offering soups for the winter because NOBODY is going in there. Let's not let another great local business fail. They offer gourmet ices and sherbets. They have sophisticated flavors like Grapefruit basil ice, Apricot Ginger etc but also stuff kids like such as Fire Engine Red Ice. The Sherbets are really good too but no Ice Cream per se. They sell it by the pint which is great to bring to a dinner party and the flavors change all the time. The owners live in the neighborhood. Business has been SO SLOW that they are thinking of closing for at least the season. I heard they are offering soups. It would be great to get people to start going there before we lose yet another business over here.
I personally stand guilty of not patronizing this local business, but it was only due to ignorance. I only saw it for the first time three days ago and got this email yesterday. It sounds delicious, different, and the sort of thing we should support.
Yelpers seem to agree that it's a fine establishment. So go buy some water ice! Or some soup! It is your civic duty to bolster the local economy in this time of recession.
NYC Icy can be found near the corner of Church Avenue and Coney Island Avenue.

I went there over the summer on a weekend morning around 11 am. They weren't open. I was all psyched too. Since then, I just haven't been back. Just lack of making the trip over there as it's not in my regular route. Maybe I'll try it again, but they really need to be open regular hours if they want regular business. I heard how great their ices were, and now I'm going over there for soup? I'll try it to be neighborly.
I just called NYC Icy to find out its hours. It's open 7 days a week from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
One of the best shops in our area.
Support!
Great ice place. Much better than Louie G's, which isn't at all bad. I love the apricot ginger.
If they make it to the spring, they should invest in a cart to push over to the Parade Grounds so they can sell their ices to the AYSO crowd.
Love it. This is why I live in Brooklyn. Worth the schlep.
Does anyone know what the soups are?
I haven't been there since the summer so they may have already done this but, if not, it would be great for them to add a few tables and chairs.
I just had a chicken sandwich at the halal cart on church + mcdonald... YUM! for those who don't know, ask for the spicy sauce if you like it spicy. for $3.50, it's a a filling meal in tough economic times!
I LOVE this place. But, the winter just isn't a great time to buy ice cream/sherbert. It should be a seasonal place if possible.
We're on Marlborough and it's a tough location to stop at--impossible double-parking with buses, no regular parking, not on our way to the subway, and too far along that dumb nasty stretch of Church Ave. to qualify for a "quick run" on foot. I've taken to sending my daughter to buy a packed pint (we're obsessed with the peanut butter cream ice) while I wait in the car. That location seems very problematic--"so close and yet so far" to heavy park and subway traffic...we will try the soup, I have gotten to hate canned soup!...I wish them luck!
I went Saturday night after reading this post and they only had one soup, Clam Chowder.
.....how was it?
never been there.
People, wake up! It's this sort of frivolous spending that got us into this economic crisis in the first place!
