It’s officially that time of year where we can visit our local ice cream stands! Spring is such a great season as we can step back outside with warmer weather and sunnier days.

Mmmm, I’m getting hungry over here! The Original Mickey’s Igloo shared their menu on social media. We can take a look at it before we arrive so we know exactly what we want.

They will offer 25 ice cream flavors each day along with their sundaes, milkshakes, floats and so many toppings as well. As for their food menu, we can pair it with our favorite ice cream.

They are currently offering their burgers, chicken tenders, wraps, nachos, fries and more! I love that they also have merchandise and mugs to represent this local ice cream stand.

How about some cookie dough ice cream in a cup with hot fudge and their sweet potato wrap? I’m sold!

Eat Your Way Through The Hudson Valley With The Best Ice Cream

I have always enjoyed stopping by my favorite local ice cream shops and choosing a new flavor. Whether it's a hot fudge sundae, chocolate peanut butter ice cream in a cone, or an ice cream sandwich, count me in.

The Hudson Valley has strange ice cream flavors. From lemon poppyseed to thai iced tea and barn boots, there aren't any boring flavors in our area.

A 'Premiere' Hudson Valley treat shop was expanding their space during the winter months to prepare for a busy summer season.

Thankfully, we have a large selection of local ice cream shops to visit in the Hudson Valley.
