They said they will try to be on Austin Street on weekends through the summer. They closed up shop on Austin Street a couple of years ago — next to where Rove restaurant is today — and moved to Metropolitan Ave.

More Ice Cream For Austin Street
The latest, coming in next to Shake Shack: I CE NY, Original Smashed and Rolled Ice Cream, which has a location in Greenwich Village on Macdougal Street.
I knew the new Shake Shack would serve as a magnet for other eateries. I could not have predicted the first bunch we would see would be upscale ice cream shops...

Coming Soon: Snow Story Ice Cream Roll
Not to be confused with Snowdays, which just opened a bit further up the block yesterday, my friend today emailed me these photos of yet another dessert place coming in to Austin Street.
This is directly across from the church down near Ascan, where a nail salon used to be.
See below the pics for more info about ice cream rolls.
From Zagat: Forget crazy flavors or over-the-top ice cream sandwiches, this summer's hottest dessert is a frozen treat that's made its way to NYC by way of Thailand. Thai-style ice cream rolls have debuted at not one, but three shops this season, but what exactly makes this chilled specialty different from your typical scoop? It's made to order, for one. Here's how it works: An ice cream base and your choice of add-ins are poured onto an anti-griddle, a metal plate that can get as cold as -4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the owners of I-CE NY. Then, in Cold Stone-esque fashion, the staff chops and smashes the ingredients together with metal paddles as they start to freeze. In just minutes, the cream firms up and it's spread into a thin layer, then scraped into the chubby rolls that we're seeing all over Instagram.

A Couple of Ways to Cool Off
With it actually feeling like a genuine New York City summer for a change, we turn our attention to some icy treats. Luckily, Metropolitan Ave. has a couple.
With the Carvel down there having opened, then closed, then, who the hell knows? ... I, like plenty of other car-less Notherners who don't frequent Metropolitan Area very often, was left confused about the status of one of my favorite childhood haunts. So, for all of you like me who were wondering whether there still is a Carvel in Forest Hills or not, I can happily report there is indeed—and just a short walk down to Metropolitan Ave.
And remember our place to get ices that used to be next to the old Bonfire Grill—Uncle Louie G? Well, that's now located down there as well, sharing a location with Twist It Top It frozen yogurt.

Couple of Closings...
Surprised that more people in Forest Hills don't miss the ices shop Uncle Louie G which used to open every summer on Austin St. right next to the Bonfire Grill. Yea, it was a little run down, but the ices and ice cream weren't bad. Anyway, that place looks completely closed, with construction going on inside it.
And then, I come back on vacation and see that the Lady Love Boutique at the corner of 72nd Ave. and Austin St. has closed. Surprised no one had contacted me about since it was one of the more eccentric-looking shops on Austin St. and in business for quite a few years.

Forest Hills to Get 'First Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Parlor'
Wow, just found this.... look at the last graph ... says it's coming into Forest Hills too.
New York's First Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Parlor Opens Two Stores on Long Island
Nitro Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt announces its two flagship stores now open. Nitro is the ‘Terminator in an Ice Cream Cup’ and attempts to provoke associations between cutting edge Science, Ice Cream and iPads. Nitro is the way to characterize a science lab for Ice Cream blended with a Hollywood production for a unique flavor experience. New York's First Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Parlor!
Nitro lets customers pick your base, flavor, color and mix-in! Patrons are allowed to order an ice cream base (regular, organic, low-fat, soymilk, non-fat yogurt, low-fat yogurt, or sorbet), flavors (chocolate, vanilla, pistachio, wasabi, bacon, snickerdoodle, chip, kitchen sink, pomegranate, gaga and more), colors (hot pink, neon blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, and more), and hundreds of mix-ins/ toppings. Nitroticians wearing goggles and cryogenic protection gloves will assemble your mix- ture, readying it for the ice cream process.
Everything is poured into Nitro's patented-process machines that are connected to a stream of liquid nitrogen at -320F. About halfway through the process, the liquid nitrogen is dispersed resembling Han Solo-frozen blasting in carbonite. Fog is everywhere resembling a Heavy Metal concert. Nitro Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt Parlors are the first Ice Cream Stores to not have any freezers.
The Ice Cream production looks like some science project gone mad or an over- worked fog machine on the set of “Dancing With the Stars.” Nitro's Ice Cream process is safe, it allows the Ice Cream to contain a smoother, richer creamier texture by eliminating ice particles found in everyday desserts. Nitrogen is naturally found in the air we breath making up almost 80 % of our atmosphere.
Each Nitro location is now fully equipped with a Toppings Bar. Unlike other Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt Shops, Nitro's Toppings Bar is All You Can Eat. Nitro was founded by NBA Basketball Player Sebastian Telfair. Sebastian Telfair is one of the NBA brightest stars. Sebastian plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves and was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Sebastian developed the idea with fellow Ice Cream lover Sean Pomper. Sean Pomper, co-creator of “Flavor Spray” which was among Time Magazine’s Most Amazing Inventions of 2005.
Nitro Head of Franchise Development Neal Menashe, Esq. states, “In Todays economy we at Nitro developed an affordable way for people to license and franchise stores. We kept our start-up costs affordable and franchise fee’s at minimums, so in turn our store owners can evoke a profit as quickly as possible. An Ice Cream store doesn’t have to hurt your pocket in order for you to become a store owner anymore.”
Nitro Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt stores are coming and looking to open everywhere. Nitro Merrick at 2326 Merrick Road and Nitro Syosset at 15 Jackson Avenue are New Yorks first locations with developments in Staten Island, Oceanside, Forest Hills and Manhattan.
