Park Place Comes Into Its Own.

holy cow! best news i've heard all day (hoping they're just moving in next to little miss muffin & her stuffin... love them too).

been in the neighborhood for 10 years, and uncle louie g's are my favorite ices in nyc! oh man!!!

What is it?

This is the best news to come along in Prospect Heights for a while. Now we do not have to walk all the way to Union/5th. Cannot wait to have my Lemon ices on the bottom and the Cherry on the top. just in time for Summer. Whoopeee! =P~

I'm with CementBottom - Love the Uncle LouieG's - Whoo Hoo!

Had some Louie G's today (PPSW) - coconut ice and lime ice combined. Hit the spot.

Hope the uncle brings a broom...that little corner btwn the shop and the collapsing limestone stoop to the east always seems to be a magnet for trash (well highlighted in Carnivore's pic).

Wait, your kid doesn't like ice cream? I don't understand...

something is clearly wrong with her child. We should use tact and offer to eat any ice cream that would have been theirs....

The best thing about uncle Louie g besides the icecream is that he drives a Hummer, unlike those wimpy Ben and Jerry (save the world) clowns.

I know it sounds crazy, but ice cream is "too cold" for my 3 year old. I've heard the same from at least one other parent. Of course, it makes me look like a very bad mom when I'm walking down the street with a cone and Junior has none.

I'm looking forward to having this in the neighborhood.

do they make nondairy "treats"? i loves me my lactose, but have a friend who's feeling left out by all the organic places...

Uncle Louie G's is THE BEST ice cream and ices anywhere for 100 miles.....FAR better - tastier, more interesting - than Blue Marble, whose popularity I fail to grasp. I mean, I've tried Blue Marble a couple of times but to be honest the ice cream from Trader Joe's tastes better.......now nothing compares to the hand-made ice cream I've had at a farm upstate where the cows that produce the milk that make the ice cream are right next to their little ice cream store, but here in the city, Uncle LG's is the best.

They have many rich-tasting ices that I presume are dairy free - but you'd want to ask to be sure.

Best thing about ULG's is that their ices, (chocolate peanut butter cup is my favorite) taste totally decadent but presumably have far less fat than ice cream.....

I can't wait for them to open up here! Of course it means I'll probably have to add in an Uncle Louie G's premium to my kids' allowances, but it's a small price to pay.

i don't believe they have any non-dairy ice cream, but the ices themselves can be a pretty great substitute. seriously - the mint chocolate chip or coconut ices (one scoop of each... my favorite) are so good!

It's OPENNNNNN! Anyone been yet? I didn't get a chance as I was busy with my ice cream hatin' kid.

I have to disagree about about Louie G's, yes the ices are good, but the ice cream is very weak. Blue Marble is far better, and even Haagan Daz is better. But given the lack of other options its nice to have Louie G's around
