As I walked down West 4th St. on this warm spring day, I found myself craving chocolate ice cream. I was about to ignore this desire and hop on the subway when I noticed Mary's Dairy, a brand-new super-premium ice cream shop.
The chocolate options were numerous. "Exotic" flavors included "Sandy": Belgian chocolate with pieces of pistachio halvah, "Hawaii Five-O Callebaut": chocolate with Callebaut chips and macadamias, "White On White": French vanilla with white Callebaut chips, and "Ying Yang", milk chocolate with Valrhona chips. I opted for the latter, topped with a generous portion of thick-as-molasses "Inoue" bittersweet hot fudge. The ice cream was not overly sugary, but it was unbelievably creamy. The hot fudge was out of this world!
On a day in which I'm feeling even more decadent, I might try the "Too Much Is Just About Enough!": three scoops of ice cream sitting on a brownie, a Krispy Kreme donut and a homemade chocolate chip cookie!
Mary's Dairy: 171 West 4th St., (212) 242-6874.
