There's also a frozen yogurt place coming to 2nd Avenue btw. 7th St. and St. Mark's Place. Who eats all this ice cream and frozen yogurt? And the margins are so good that you can pay rent and expenses and still make a good profit?

Oh for God's effin' sake, not another one of these foo-foo dessert places! We need the services that are being driven out of the neighborhood so as to accommodate this twee crap!

I'm sorry. How could you possibly complain about losing a dry cleaner shop? There's several on every corner. Welcome to the neighborhood ice cream shop!
What with all the chain drama we've got going on, we can at least be happy it's not a Baskin-Robbins or a Dairy Queen.

@Anon 4:13 - Oh and there's not a fro-yo/ice cream/dessert place spaced every 10 feet apart? What East Village do YOU live in? But this is all just part of a greater trend of the neighborhood swapping out relevant services for precious crap like "homemade ice cream".

Hmm. EVG regular William Klayer notes the arrival of a rather cryptic sign at the former dry cleaners at 137 First Ave. between St. Mark's Place and East Ninth Street... as you can see: Handmade ice cream ~ summer 2013. No other info right the moment.

That dry cleaners used to give my son $1 at Halloween. It was his favorite stop on the trick or treating tour.

Hey, if you don’t like ice cream, then move to__________! (fill in appropriate flyover state).

I'll take ice cream over another fratty bar anyday.
