Quality Meats Opens Summer Ice Cream Bar

At Midtown steakhouse Quality Meats, you don’t need to wait for your birthday to indulge in cake. For the summer season, the bar in the front of the restaurant has been transformed into an ice-cream station serving “Quality Cakes” — individual ice-cream cakes in a cup ($8) and available to go with a spoon. Flavors are said to include Cherry Monkey (banana cake with vanilla icing and pistachio-cherry ice cream), Monster Mash (peanut butter cake with caramel icing and chocolate “cookie monster” ice cream), and Pie Smash — luscious blueberry cake layered with billowy raspberry icing and tangy lemon meringue ice cream. “We wanted to wow people,” says pastry chef Cory Colton, who attended Ice Cream University in Hastings-on-Hudson. Pints of ice cream in creative flavors like coconut macaroon and our personal favorite,“coffee & doughnuts” (pictured below) are also available. FYI – We Magpies are totally wowed by Coltun’s gourmet ice cream and are also really big fans of Quality Meats Restaurant (and, if we keep eating that goumet ice cream as much as we’d like to… we’ll probably be their biggest fans!)
