East of NYC ? Long Island Restaurants, Food News, Shopping ...

Five Pennies Taco

Five Pennies is our new favorite dessert spot on Long Island. It?s got everything that we want from an ice cream shop; fresh ice cream, frozen custard, incredible ices and an owner whose sole purpose is to keep making them better (and more delectable).

Open for less than two years, Five Pennies is the brainchild of Daniel Levine, a Brooklyn native. He?s at the store seven days per week and we can consider him the mad scientist behind the huge selection of flavors. On any given day you can walk in and try out a new batch that he had just concocted off the top of his head.

Bringing you back to those simpler times when it was all about sweet treats and good feelings (maybe also to when a cone cost ?Five Pennies?), the shop delivers in taking us out of the ordinary pace of life as soon as you step inside. The kids and kids at heart in the neighborhood all love it and indulging in these great desserts may not be for every day, but when you?re there, your cares will melt away.

With more than just desserts, Five Pennies also has a healthy lineup of live music to help keep those hungry mouths in the store. You can keep up with their facebook page to keep track of both live music acts that are playing weekly and the ever-changing flavors roster.

*Editors Note ? We forgot our Lactaid when we visited and were bummed that we couldn?t indluge. But Five Pennies came through and pulled a Costco-sized Lactaid container from behind the counter and voila!, we were able to stuff our faces without fear of getting sick. Bonus points go to Five Pennies!
