Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory: A good enough treat with a view that is sweet.



After a stroll across the gorgeous bridge of Brooklyn, what better reward than a banana split? We arrive with a well-earned appetite at the Brooklyn Ice Cream factory that sits on the river inside a cute two-storied house, just across the water from South Street Sea Port as well as the rest of Manhattan!

I feel like a child again ordering a boat of bananas with strawberries, pineapples and hot fudge. Caramel and walnuts are also options. Ice cream flavors we choose are chocolate, butter pecan and coffee, which aren't necessarily traditional but perfectly creamy and tasty still although what difference does it make when you've got all the fixins? The only other ice cream flavor available this day is vanilla, which we find to be slightly disappointing but it certainly doesn't stop us from eating every single bite.

It's a fair portion for $8, served with two spoons so perfect for sharing the love as well as the calories. Also delicious is the opportunity to sit on the deck and consume before it melts while enjoying a brilliant view as the sun reflects off the city across the way. Enjoy!
