Honey's Ice Cream at Bear Donut

Midtown’s late-afternoon sun finds a sweet spot at Honey’s Ice Cream at Bear Donut, a no-frills corner of flavor downtown. Just a block from the 6 train at 40 W 31st St, New York, NY 10001, you can stroll in for on-site scoops or grab pints to go without the detour. At the counter you’ll find childhood favorites made fresh daily, all served up in a single casual line. Parents swing by mid-week runs because the cones disappear fast before the after-school rush. Tables vanish by 5 p.m., so plan accordingly if you like to linger without the crowd.
