Beloved NYC ice cream shop Morgenstern’s is thrilled to launch summer patio service with its upcoming partnership INTERMISSION with Jay Wolman previously of Mimi, LaLou, and King. The culinary collaboration will reimagine American Diner classics through a European lens at Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream at 88 W Houston St. With family from South Africa and London, combining cultures is not a foreign concept to Jay. His experience working in restaurants both stateside and in Europe inform his approach to merge flavors from different regions to create distinct and delicious dishes. The limited edition menu will be available from Tuesday, July 11th to Saturday, July 15th, and a limited selection of ice cream from Morgenstern’s menu will be available for purchase with patio service. The menu will feature buffalo frog legs, a ratatouille patty melt, a burger au poivre and more.
“I get the hype now…. I went on a random weekday night and it was still SUPER packed with a line out the door. it moved pretty fast and was definitely worth the wait. The menu on the wall can be overwhelming because they have SOOO many flavors I’ve never even heard of before. I got the banana milk flavor and it was rich and creamy and perfect amount of sweet. You can tell it’s high quality. The staff works fast and tries to make everything be efficient. There’s a bathroom too! Will 100% be back to try more flavors.”
“I really liked this place. Walked by and didn't notice it at first but I am so happy we went in. The staff was so friendly. The music was great so the atmosphere was very relaxed and fun. The menu is massive. But I like that. There is definitely something for everyone. I got the bourbon vanilla and the coconut passion fruit swirl. I liked the vanilla more. My ice cream fell off my cone but they were nice enough to give me two new scoops and a cup.”
“The line was definitely cray, but the ice cream was absolutely delicious and I instantly forgot about the wait upon my first spoonful! We tried the oolong white peach, the Hennessy flavor, the bourbon flavor, and two other flavors and everyone one of us immediately has a smile of delight after trying them. And the scoop sizes were actually pretty big (I'm glad I only got a single). Definitely a great stop for dessert!”
“Only one flavour in a small is so cruel. And I have no respect for such behaviours. But the ice cream is good — Update: the ice creams are mostly too sweet, actually. I don’t enjoy finishing a whole scoop of any of them. — The pineapple salted egg yolk is unreal. Top 5 ice creams I’ve had. The vegan coconut purple rice is really good. I love the fun flavours. So like ya… it’s really good. Earns its pretentious vibes I guess. And the scoops are perfectly round. Like perfect. The menu is long, overwhelming, and confusing. They group by dominant flavour (ie which fruit is in it), and there’s like a million flavours. Be ready to order when you get to the front of the line. There’s always a line. It moves pretty fast.”
“Good ice cream, tried two flavours: hibiscus strawberry and pineapple egg yolk. They were good… but not that good. Pineapple one was too sweet, I got a bit sick of it at the end. Hibiscus strawberry was a bit artificial / icey. No samples, one flavour per scoop. Slow service and long line. Maybe we missed the mark on ordering the right flavors, but it was a sup-par scoop for me.”
