Not sorbet from places like Grom, Arte, Il Lab. or Cones Not Marino's at the local pizza`parlor. Along the lines of Lemon Ice King of Corona, Uncle Louis G's or Ralph's. Excluding the tropical flavored icy carts on the L.E.S I can't find a place anywhere in the city. Any hidden places I have not come across?? Tue May 13 16:03:32 -0700 2008 183241 misnatalie 1 3684994 There was a guy with an italian ice truck at one of the street fairs last weekend called Pappi's Italian Ices. I tried the Spumoni and the watermelon, which came in the extra large size for $3. Great deal. Spumoni had real chips and was excellent. Watermelon tasted kind of like those Marino's cups, so not so great. He had about a dozen flavors. There's also that corner pharmacy Essentials Plus on the UWS that has a huge list of flavors. I don't think they made them in house, and I've never tried it myself. Rocco's pastry shop on Bleeker is pretty good for the standard flavors, like pistachio.

Wed May 14 07:09:25 -0700 2008 3684994 183241 misnatalie 3 3686954 I came across Pappi's truck on the corner of 22nd and Park last weekend. You can look up the fair schedules online now, as they go block to block across the city each. I think there's only one truck though, and I couldn't find a website to figure out his next location. It's a smaller white, old fashioned looking truck though, and the sign says it's available for block parties, and birthdays. Wed May 14 12:51:33 -0700 2008 3685618 145096 sugartoof 1 3685639 The drug store called Essentials Plus on the UWS that sugartoof mentioned sells Italian ices out of a window, right on the corner of 81st st. and B'way. I'm not well versed in quality Italian ices, but these are recognizably better than Marino's cups. And they're hella cheap. Wed May 14 07:15:44 -0700 2008 3684140 64215 cimui 1 3685891 There is a little woman with a cart outside of the Time Warner Center every evening when I get off the subway at about 7:15. She has several flavors. She is usually right across from the Time Warner Center near the 1 train entrance closest to the Trump hotel. Wed May 14 08:28:21 -0700 2008 3684140 133413 offthebeatenpath1 1 3687449 As of last summer, Bleecker Street Pizza was serving Lemon Ice King of Corona ices Wed May 14 14:55:18 -0700 2008 3684140 181765 chowder123 1 3688864 I like the ices at DeRobertis on first avenue (btwn 10th and 11th). Costs more to eat in, so get a nice chocolate ice and stroll... I can't remember what other flavors they have since I always get chocolate, lemon and cremolata and maybe melon...? Thu May 15 00:07:35 -0700 2008 3684140 132418 hungrycomposer 2 3688873 I love that place. Good to know they have ices! Thanks. Thu May 15 00:17:55 -0700 2008 3688864 145096 sugartoof 2 4976237 Any suggestion for someplace in 30s/40s around Bway? Tue Aug 25 10:40:32 -0700 2009 3688864 1104389 alygibson 1 3691602 OMG. You are so right. I used to live on the LES and get them their all the time. Thanks. Thu May 15 15:54:38 -0700 2008 3684140 183241 misnatalie 1 3692514 if anyone is ever up on columbia medical school's campus (W168th and Brdwy), there are small ice pushcarts on nearly every corner. flavors are typically mango, pineapple, cherry and chocolate. $1 gets ya a decent-sized cup of very flavorful ice. there's usually one pushcart stationed on the west side of brdwy between W168 and W165 (this is one long block that skips the other streets) right outside of hospital building known as the "Energy Court". I am curious to try the other places posted here. Thu May 15 22:25:05 -0700 2008 3684140 57300 nativeNYer 2 3692599 I don't think the OP wanted a pushcart, but aren't they selling shaved ice anyway? I always thought shaved ice, and italian ices as being different....one being preblended, and one being soaked in syrup before serving, like a sno-cone. It occurs to me that some of the old style lemon iced places are doing more of a shaved iced thing though. Hmm. Thu May 15 23:34:18 -0700 2008 3692514 145096 sugartoof 3 3693066 there are a few stray pushcarts selling shaved ice, but most of them do sell the pre-blended stuff. there are actually pushcarts all around the city, not just around w. 168th. (lots on b'way in the 90s, in the w. 60s... really they're swarming in the summer.) Fri May 16 07:24:24 -0700 2008 3692599 64215 cimui 3 3693635 hi sugartoof, i completely agree that this wasn't exactly what the OP wanted but the ones i've tasted up near my office are definitely pre-blended, and close to the quality of the good stuff found in several of the queens locations listed by the OP. the pineapple is to die for.
