Four Winters

Four Winters is a spot to score ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet.
This is the first New York City location of Four Winters, a small but global franchise with shops in Los Angeles, London, Egypt and Jordan. Four Winters makes frozen desserts to order, using liquid nitrogen to rapidly freeze each of its creations.

With a 3.5-star Yelp rating out 11 reviews, Four Winters is still finding its way, but it's early days.
Yelper Cherie C., who reviewed Four Winters on Aug. 11, wrote, "Despite being the best ice cream I've ever had, they are always closing six hours before they're supposed to. I've personally experienced this twice already."
Four Winters is open from noon–10 p.m. on Sunday-Thursday and noon–11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
