I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Big Gay Ice Cream

Big Gay Ice Cream was a summer experiment gone right. In June of 2009, founders Douglas Quint and Bryan Petroff, began cruising the streets in the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck and it became an instant success. So, in 2011 they opened their first store in New York City's East Village. Big Gay Ice Cream is all about "serving 'plain-old soft serve' with fun, electric toppings," and that my friends, is why we love them!

Not only is this place a super fun spot, but so is their website. On the site you see photos of people enjoying their ice cream and when you scroll over the photo the picture and ice cream change. It's is so funny and clever. Check it out:

The New York Post, Time Out NY, NBC, ABC, Logo, Daily Candy, New York Magazine, The Huffington Post, The Rachael Ray Show, Food Network and CBS Radio rave about Big Gay Ice Cream and I guarantee after your first visit, you will to. Plus, you get a very welcoming greeting from this fine lady:

Everything on the menu has a quirky name to fit the funky atmosphere. They have shakes, ice cream sandwiches, sundaes, floats and cones and with names like Salty Pimp, Cococone and Mermaid you can't go wrong. Check out the full menu here.

During our visit, Jill had a peppermint ice cream sandwich and I had the Mermaid; vanilla ice cream, key lime curd, crushed gram crackers and whipped cream. YUM!

Ready to visit? Check out their two locations in NYC at 125 East 7th Street and 61 Grove Street and tell them Hungry White Girl sent ya!
