Rank 5. Jōji
Sushi
In a Grand Central corner, Jōji carves out stillness amid transit chaos with nigiri built on meticulously vinegared dual-rice bases and sashimi that pairs buri with green apple and yuzu. The seafood—sourced from Toyosu Market, often luxe—arrives without pretension, though the bill reflects the ingredients' rarefied status.

Rank 6. Sugar Hill Creamery
Dessert
A small-batch shop on Lenox Avenue where the ice cream names—"sweet socialism," "chairperson of the board"—announce themselves like inside jokes, each flavor a minor act of whimsy. The Madagascar chocolate and graham-cracker-blueberry combinations suggest a kitchen unafraid of specificity, which is its own kind of charm.

-
Rank 11. Salt & Straw
Dessert
A West Coast operation that encourages sampling across its sprawling flavor roster—sea salt caramel ribbons, wildflower honey, lemon chess pie—each scoop a small argument about what ice cream can be. The maximalist approach pays off: restraint has no place here.

On Madison Avenue's quieter stretch, Glace proffers ice cream sandwiches built from house-made macarons and sundaes anchored by Nutella or hot chocolate, each a small architectural gesture toward indulgence. The operation extends to a roving truck, because ambition here means meeting the city wherever it goes.

-
Rank 23. Kape't Torta
Filipino Bakery
-
On the Upper East Side since the early nineties, Sedutto stocks thirty-odd ice cream flavors alongside wine-spiked sorbets and boozy yogurts that feel almost luxurious in their restraint. Vanilla bean and birthday cake anchor the menu, but the real draw is how the place treats frozen dessert as a vehicle for adult flavors without winking.
