    You forgot Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream! Talk about seasonal flavors....backyard mint, sweet corn & black raspberries, meyer lemon, strawberry buttermilk and Brown Butter Almond Brittle.

    I'm an Ohio native and Jeni's far surpasses Graeter's. You can get them a few places in NYC (Grace's Market and Dean and Deluca on Madison). Check them out! http://jenisicecreams.com/index.html
