OddFellows Ice Cream Co.

"It was beautiful, so we walked over to OddFellows on the river. I ordered a passion-fruit-pistachio cone, and my son got cookies and cream. He tried a lick of mine, just looked at me, and we switched. I tossed the Oreo after a few bites because I knew I’d get my cone back. I did."

"New York-based chain OddFellows Ice Cream Co., which expanded to Chestnut Hill in 2019, is now selling — and shipping — a collection called “the Boozy Capsule,” featuring six booze-infused ice creams based on cocktails from top bars. There’s Death & Co.’s Buko Gimlet, for example: coconut water sorbet infused with gin, cachaça, coconut liqueur, lime, and pandan. Flavors are available at $13.50 per tub at the Chestnut Hill location (and New York locations), and the collection also ships nationwide for $90 (discounted to $79 at press time). The company is donating 10% of proceeds from this collection to Another Round Another Rally, which provides aid to hospitality workers." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"OddFellows Ice Cream Co., a popular New York City ice cream shop known for its creative flavors and boozy floats, is opening its first location outside of New York in Chestnut Hill, Boston. The shop, located in the Street Chestnut Hill complex below Legal Sea Foods, will feature rotating flavors of ice cream and sorbet, along with frappes, sodas, banana splits, and sundaes. Although initially the boozy ice cream combos and alcohol won't be available, they are expected to be introduced in the fall. The venue aims to evoke a 1950s ice cream parlor atmosphere, complete with cherry-red banquette seating, a bar, custom art, and an outdoor patio. It will join other dining options at the Street, such as Comella’s, Tender Greens, Chilacates, and Chef Ronsky’s Trattoria." - Dana Hatic
