Finding the Best Ice Cream in NYC: New York Ice Cream Trucks

We all pass them on a daily basis, the New York Ice Cream trucks that linger on every other street corner. So how do these street cones stand up to the fancy, gourmet ice cream of the city? Read on to find out.

The New York Ice Cream trucks are pretty simple, you can get vanilla, chocolate or swirl soft-serve and a couple choices of toppings. While it's not super exciting, it is a reliable treat that is super cheap and always around.

I always get a swirl cone with sprinkles and as you can see, you really get your money's worth. This cone cost $4 and it's massive.

Because this is just a basic cone with nothing to blow it out of the water, I'm just gonna cut right to the chase:

So how would I rate this Ice Cream:

Experience: 1/5 There is no real "experience" while getting this ice cream, you hand over your $4 and you get your ice cream and then move on your way. For that, it only gets a 1 out of 5.

Price: 5/5 For $4 you just can't beat that price. The only downside is that you need to have cash, but if you're in New York and you don't have at least $4 cash on you, you have bigger problems.

Flavor: 3/5 This is a pretty average cone, but if you're in the need for a little sugar, this is perfect. It's super quick and brings back memories of ice cream cones on hot summer days when I was a child.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable.
