Long Island Ice Cream Tours

Long Island Ice Cream Tours Back in the mid-1980s, two important events occurred:

1) Jeff Noreman stumbled upon various ice cream places on Long Island.

He realised quite a few of them made the ice cream on the premises — better known as homemade. Soon, he took a friend out on a sunny day to explore the yummy homemade ice cream. He has taken other friends on the adventure scattered throughout the years since then, but not annually.
2) Derek Steen was born. In 2010, Jeff blended his knowledge of homemade ice cream on Long Island with Derek’s sherbe

t-filled sense of adventure, and — together — they created the Long Island Ice Cream Tour. This first year they had just a few close friends and family. In 2012, that doubled to seventeen people, and they were featured in Newsday (a news organisation dedicated to current events on Long Island). As a matter of fact, Newsday has a great list of all the ice cream places on Long Island. This list has been very helpful in choosing the venues each year.

TOUR STOP #6 - Our FINAL stop of the day had a sweet ending at Sweet Treats on the Wharf in Port Washington! We had such a wonderful day and so many of our "diehard ice cream lovers" stayed until the end. A great day was had by all and one lucky winner took home a portable ice cream maker! We thank everyone for coming out and spending the day together and we look forward to seeing you all next year, when we celebrate LIICT's SWEET 16!!!

Now that we have completed the first tour of the 2025 season, we want to take a moment to thank all of the amazing people who make this tour happen every year! There are lots of "behind the scenes" details and these folks help so much so that all of you can have a great experience! And most importantly, they are VOLUNTEERS!

So kudos to Eileen, Jaime and Shazar for all you do for our LIICT family- we love you! ❤️

With so much appreciation,
Jeff and Robin

LIICT TOUR STOP #6-
We ended our amazing day at Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shop in West Babylon. Great ice cream served up by owner Carol and her great staff! She had plenty of delicious flavors, including Central Perk, Creamy Orange and delicious Italian ices that beat the afternoon heat! As a special treat, all of our participants who made it to the last stop were entered into a drawing for a pint sized ice cream maker in honor of our 15th anniversary!! Thanks to all who joined us today and we look forward to another great tour on Saturday, August 9th.

Our fifth stop took us to a new ice cream shop- Mann's Homemade Ice Cream and "mann" was it terrific! Great homemade flavors, hand dipped candies and yummy bakery items - something for everyone here!
