This ice cream shop has been named the best in New York
We know that we are preaching to the choir here, but it bears repeating: it is hot AF outside. Sure, only a few months ago we collectively threw our hands up to the gray skies, wishing for warmer days. But this? Two showers a day, hot? A transportation system that doubles as a sauna, hot? Tying a 140-year-old heat record, hot? It's a no for me dawg. But seeing as how complaining alone can't lower the temp in the air (or else, there would be a winter freeze by now), New York City is offering ways to keep cool, activating citywide cooling centers and reopening 60 plus outdoor public pools come this Friday. But the best way we know how to cool off? Ice cream. Yes, the combo of dairy, cream and sugar by the scoop, sundae and the pint is just the cure even the hottest of heads. Just in time for this heatwave, we recently updated our list of best ice cream shops in NYC. And this year, an Italian-inspired spot was crowned the number one spot. Caffè Panna made our number one top spot for all things swirled and scooped in 2025. Hallie Meyer is the owner behind the shop, powered by a lifelong love for all things ice cream. And we aren't just saying that—Meyer's love for cream and sugar goes deep, like a five-month residency working in gelaterias across Rome, deep. Cleary inspired by the silky scoops she found abroad, she returned stateside, scooping ice cream in the South Bronx before opening a brick-and-mortar in Gramercy in 2019. Last year, she took her custardy creations over to Greenpoint, opening a second location with roomy enough digs for a production facility and enough space to finally enjoy your scoops inside. While the shop's standard scoops are enough to make us brave the line (which there always is one), it's Meyer's rotating cast of specials (think pie crust and Sungold tomatoes and olive oil) that keep us coming back. Plus, the introduction of shaved Italian granitas topped with the signature Panna imported straight from the motherland, helps too. Right behind it, a Portland import made its debut nabbing the number two spot: Salt & Straw. Chain it may be, Salt & Straw's buttermilk-heavy scoops know how to keep things interesting, and we aren't just saying that because there are unlimited samples. Incorporating itself into the fold of the city, both Upper West Side and Chelsea locations (they opened both within a few months of each other) have exclusive scoops only found in NYC, including a babka version and a semi-savory smoked pastrami option sourced from famed Carnegie Deli. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dominek Tubbs (@domnthecity) Dubbed 'Harlem's Finest Ice Cream Shop,' Sugar Hill Creamery is also one of our favorite local parlors, coming in at number three. While Nicholas and Petrushka Bazin Larsen's seasonal scoops of handmade carrot cake in the winter and strawberry basil lemon in the summer are enough to top the list, this ice cream shop receives close-to-top honors because of its ties to the community. (Inside, the walls feature rotating portraits of those who live in the neighborhood.) The flavors follow suit, as the Asap Rocky Road nods to the famous rapper who grew up in Harlem and their current flavor, Sonia's Pound Cake made with rosemary, apricot and chunks of pound cake, was made in collaboration with local Harlem-based influencer Dominek Tubbs of @domnthecity. The list rounds out with black sesame and pandan scoops in Chinatown and egg creams and sundaes from an ice cream OG in Carroll Gardens. Looking to cool off? Check out the full list of our best ice cream shops in the city.

Costco puts famous New York City brand on shelves
The fun thing about shopping at Costco is that you never quite know what you're going to get. Of course, the surprise element of Costco's ever-changing inventory can do a number on your wallet if you're not careful. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter It's not that unusual to walk into Costco for milk, eggs, and a case of chip bags only to walk out with a hyper-powered blender, a giant stuffed teddy bear, and maybe a kayak, if the mood strikes you and the price is right. Related: Trader Joe's makes a customer service decision Costco won't But adding new items to its shelves is something Costco strives to do on a regular basis to keep the shopping experience interesting and fresh. In fact, the Costco treasure hunt has long been a draw for customers. Not only does a $65 or $130 annual membership fee buy you access to the store and the bargains it's known for, but it also gives you access to products other stores don't carry. It's not unusual for Costco to enter into agreements with suppliers that give the store exclusive access to a given product. It's just another way the retail giant offers members the maximum value. Image source: Brown/AFP via Getty Images Although Costco strives to mix things up on the inventory front, it also takes a cautious approach. The Costco name has long been synonymous with quality. And Costco knows that if it wants members to keep paying those fees, it needs to make sure every item it puts on its shelves is worthy. Related: Growing retailer's return policy beats Costco's by a mile Part of the way Costco solves that problem is producing its own version of goods under the Kirkland label. But sometimes, Costco is better served by introducing brand names that are well recognized. One such example is New York-based Junior's Cheesecake. Although those famous cheesecakes can be shipped nationwide, the cost can be prohibitive. Snagging a $25 cheesecake at Costco that would otherwise sell for about $60 plus shipping is a huge bargain. There are certain foods New York City is known for - bagels, pizza, and the classic deli sandwich. It's common for tourists who visit the city to make a stop for lunch or dinner at the Carnegie Deli. The famed restaurant is known for its heaping sandwiches, impressive array of cured meats, and delicious side dishes.

With a price tag of just $17.99, the 1.5-pound assortment is available at select Costco locations throughout the Northeast. But if it proves popular, Costco could expand that offering on a national scale. "We are incredibly excited to partner with Costco to bring our iconic corned beef and pastrami to their members," said Sarri Harper, CEO of Carnegie Deli. "This partnership allows us to share the authentic Carnegie Deli experience with a wider audience and introduce new customers to the flavors that have made us a New York institution. We believe Costco members will appreciate the quality, convenience, and value of this exclusive combo pack."

Customers can choose to eat their meat cold on a sandwich or warmed up. It's a great way to enjoy a taste of New York City without having to board a plane and navigate throngs of tourists.
