Ice cream, 42BELOW NYC
Our partners at Hundred Stories share their favorite spots to celebrate National Ice Cream Day (07/19) in 42BELOW NYC — 42nd St. to 30th St., 5th Ave. to 8th Ave.
New Yorkers spend the most in the U.S. on ice cream per year — over $45 per person, according to the International Dairy Foods Association. Though New Yorkers’ traditional favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate, you’ll find much more than that in 42BELOW NYC, the hottest emerging residential neighborhood in the city, and its latest foodie mecca.

GETAWAYS • Maine
Summer fling
For those shortly heading north to Maine for camp pickups or a week The Way Life Should Be, a meal or two in Portland — a restaurant city that continues to punch above its weight — is de rigeur. There are several ways to play it, from queuing at 430p for walk-in seating at the OG Portland fine-dining restaurant Fore Street, returning to Portland’s top new guard oyster bar Eventide, or hopping on a boat into Casco Bay for a meal at peacock island paradise Crown Jewel. (The Peaks Island pizzeria Il Leone, touted in this space last summer, now regrettably only can be found in Park Slope.)
This year, I’ve got a new (also fleeting) Portland restaurant to put on your radar.
