East Village Ice Cream Fixture Mikey Likes It Is Closing | Eater NY

"An East Village ice cream staple that opened in 2013, Mikey Likes It is closing on Avenue A after owner Michael “Mikey” Cole said they "were just not able to recover fast enough and come to terms with our current landlord," and framed the closure as part of a wider reorganization to expand products and services to the global market. I’ve always enjoyed their creative flavors — notably the Southern Hospitality with hunks of pecan pie, which even caught the attention of celebrities like Jay-Z — and Cole says he’s already plotting a comeback with a flagship planned for spring 2023." - Emma Orlow
