When it comes to Russian luxury the first thing that comes to mind is caviar and Faberge eggs not ice cream. Nevertheless I could hardly resist this new brand of Russian ice cream I spotted yesterday at one of the many gourmet shops that line the Bukharian Broadway that is 108th Street in Rego Park. Russian ice cream is one of the reasons I love living in Rego Park, but honestly the packaging is usually more interesting than the ice cream itself. And so it proved to be with Dadu’s Luxury ice cream.
The package container a wafer cone packed with decent chocolate ice cream, hardly the equivalent of Magnum’s level of luxury. I’m just glad it didn’t cost more than $1.75. The real luxury was to be found in eating it as I walked down the street on the first real day of spring

I too live in Rego Park, but I frequent the 63rd Road shopping district on the north side of Queens Blvd and the big store on the corner of 63rd and 98th [across from the athletic fields of Our Lady of the Angelus] which I think is called “Universal” has this brand of ice cream novelties and also the most awesome individually-wrapped candies.
it’s Lithuanian brand of ice-cream not Russian 🙂
