Shopkeepers Secrets #6: Ronnybrook Milk Bar
Meet Aylon, General Manager of Ronnybrook Milk Bar on our Chelsea Market/ Meatpacking District Tour and his friend and co-worker Carlos.
MUST EAT ITEM: Ice cream and milkshakes!!! Aylon has favorite ice cream flavors AND favorite milkshake flavors but never the twain shall meet. He feels pretty strongly that each flavor works best in its ‘proper’ format. For ice cream: strawberry, blueberry or chocolate hazelnut. For milkshakes: blueberry pomegranate, black & white or apple pie. I’ll take one of each
WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW: Ronnybrook started out as a small ice cream stand and has evolved into a fun 1950’s style café where you can get a savory (or sweet) sit down meal. Aylon eats their homemade hummus (a non-dairy option you wouldn’t expect) every single day!
Carlos and the other staff members joke that he has hummus running through his veins. Aylon’s go-to sandwich is the free-range roasted chicken with fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato and spicy aioli.
These delicious and healthy options make it A-OK to have dessert too!
