Finding The Best Ice Cream In NYC: 10Below

To continue on with my journey of finding the best ice cream in New York, I took a trip down to the heart of historic New York Chinatown where I tried the famous 10Below!

This Thai-inspired shop serves up delicious ice cream rolls made fresh and to order for each customer, turning their fresh liquid cream and ingredients into the desert in less than 2 minutes.

How do they do this you say? 10Below uses "an advanced cold plate that reaches temperatures well below -10°F, the ice cream produces smaller ice molecules to make it naturally smoother and creamier, eliminating the need to add in additional fat and emulsifiers to create the same rich, creamy texture we love in ice cream."

This is a GIF of my ice cream being made 😋😋The little square shop had a line out the door when I went, but the wait was definitely worth it. The favors and toppings that are available at that time are written on a chalkboard above a few of the mixing stations.

I got a Strawberry Shawty (Strawberry, Graham Crackers) and added strawberries, blackberries and Nilla Wafers on top - all toppings are free if they fit in the cup! Best of all, this amazing desert was only $7!

So how would I rate this Ice Cream:

Experience: 5/5 The shop was small and the line was long, but the inside design on black chalkboard paint, and the buzz of ice creaming being made right in front of you is 💯💯💯

Price: 4/5 Now $7 does not beat the $3 ube from last week, but it really is not a bad price for what you get! There was a lot of ice cream in my cup and one of my friends couldn't even finish hers. For $7 and a great experience, this is a must visit if you're in New York.

Flavor: 5/5 The Strawberry Shawty with the free toppings was so yummy and flavor packed. The actual ice cream was so smooth and creamy as a result of their Thai-style and I would happily return here if I'm ever near by.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
