WEST VILLAGE, NY — Morgenstern's Ice Cream Parlor is known for its dazzling selection of scoops and pints, but the iconic Lower Manhattan eatery is expanding its menu next week to offer hamburgers at its Greenwich Village location.

The ice cream shop at 88 West Houston Street is no ordinary dessert business as the food website Daily Meal ranked it as the best ice cream shop in the entire state of New York in 2020.

In unison with its address, Morgenstern's serves up more than 88 flavors of ice cream and provides nationwide shipping for its classics like Cherry Chocolate Chip and Salted Caramel.
