About
The origins of ice cream are both mythical and abstract, including legends attributing the invention of ice cream to the Chinese during the Tang Dynasty. Despite its unclearbeginnings, the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory (CICF) has made ice cream a tangible and undeniably delicious reality! By coalescing American's most popular dessert with an exotic Chinese twist, Philip Seid demonstrates a unique entrepreneurship in establishing CICF.
From the Owner
Christina of Chinatown (aka Christina Seid) has been nicknamed "Chinatown's sweetheart". Her family's roots are in Chinatown and she stays actively involved. Neighbors and visitors alike have seen her around town or in the media presenting her positive views. It only made sense for her to proudly carry the word "Chinatown" in her name. This entrepreneur is the owner of Chinatown Ice Cream Factory (CICF); which has been repeatedly voted best ice cream in New York City and stands as an unofficial landmark in the community. Christina recently created a small line of designer reusable bags and authored a children's bilingual book. "Saturdays in Chinatown" shows Chinatown through a child's eyes and breaks down stereotypes while offering positive Asian role models and colorful illustrations. Christina blogs about eateries, politics, boutiques; anything and everything Chinatown related. She gives you the real scoop on what is going on in the neighborhood. www.christinaofchinatown.com
