LIICT 2016, our sixth annual tour, is now set for Saturday, July 16. LIICT (Long Island Ice Cream Tour is open invitation to anyone who likes ice cream and a fun day of trying interesting fresh homemade flavors at local ice cream shops (or ice cream parlors, if your prefer the old-fashioned term).
Buy ice cream at every place (or just wherever you’d like), any flavor, any size. Whatever you want to try. Most places offer free samples. You can join the tour at anytime, and leave at any time.

*Wear a PURPLE shirt or outfit*
Preparation: Please eat a light and healthy breakfast (perhaps joining us at the secret early stop below). Expect to eat 5-8 single scoops of ice cream throughout the day. Lunch is optional. We may also have dinner. As much as we’d like to believe in technology, it’s best you bring some cash in case one or two of the ice cream parlours only take cash. SEE CHECKLIST AT BOTTOM.
