Breast milk ice cream isn’t a new thing, but it’s new for OddFellows where you’ll be able to find the controversial flavor at the New York City ice cream shop now through Sunday, August 10.
The ice cream that is meant to taste like it’s made with breast milk is a collaboration with baby goods company Frida. The “artificially flavored” ice cream is noted as not being made with actual human breast milk; rather, the listed ingredients include liposomal bovine colostrum, which is the milk female cows produce right after giving birth. The flavor is described as a “slightly sweet, faintly salty treat complete with hints of honey and a dash of colostrum.” It’s available at the OddFellows in Dumbo shop at 44 West Street, at Dock Street.
A restaurant from Paris is coming near Bryant Park
Parisian specialty food market and delicatessen Fauchon is going to be opening a restaurant in New York City in the fall. It’ll be found in Midtown across from Bryant Park at 1100 Sixth Avenue at West 42nd Street. It’ll be open for breakfast, lunch, and brunch; the cafe will offer takeout coffee, baked goods, sandwiches, and salads. This isn’t Fauchon’s first time in the city — the company, which was founded in Paris in 1996, had opened three stores in New York City in the early 2000s, but those eventually closed.
New kebab spot in East Village
The co-owners of East Village Indian restaurant Ishq are opening a new fast-casual Indian restaurant focused on kebabs this week. KebabishQ (styled as KEBABISHQ) is debuting at 128 Second Avenue, near St. Marks Place, on Wednesday, August 6.
Co-owners Vamshi Adi (who is the executive chef) and Neel Mittal’s menu is simple: halal charbroiled kebabs. Options include chicken (like ghost chile), lamb (i.e. seekh), shrimp (lahsooni), and vegetables (paneer mirch, soya reshmi) that are either wrapped in paratha or served on top of pulao or fries (plain, masala, or peri peri). Then there are chutneys, dahi puri, kulfi, and more. The small space includes room for some dine-in counter seats, and the kitchen claims it’ll get everything ready to be served in less than 10 minutes.
