"One of Manhattan’s beloved ice cream shops, Mikey Likes It, is out in the East Village. The scoop shop announced the closure — more of a company restructuring — in an Instagram post this week, citing plans to open multiple new locations and a flagship store in the spring of 2023. “Having gone through the constant day to day battle and hardship because of the pandemic we were just not able to recover fast enough and come to terms with our current landlord,” the post reads." - Luke Fortney
