Greater Mineola coverage is funded in part by The Farm Italy, a striking neighborhood restaurant and cocktail bar bringing the simplicity, beauty and seasonal freshness of Italian dining to Westbury.

Sound like something you’d want to try?
It’s called That Thicc Boi, and it’s one of more than 75 sundaes coming to Franklin Square when The Scoop N Scootery opens its first Long Island shop in early 2027.
The Boston-based ice cream chain is bringing its over-the-top creations to 995 Hempstead Turnpike.
“It’s an area that we always knew we wanted to be in, it just took some time to find the right spot,” Chief Marketing Officer Isabella Sidoruk told Greater Long Island. “And for me, being a Northport native, having a place on Long Island is extra special.”
The Scoop N Scootery offers 18 premium ice cream flavors made specifically for its shops, with a menu built entirely around sundaes. There are no cones.
Some creations feature what the company calls “cores,” with cake or brownies tucked between layers of ice cream. Others have “tunnels,” hollowed-out centers filled with sauces, puddings, marshmallow fluff and other ingredients.
Among the signature sundaes is Cannolis N Cream, which combines Oreo ice cream with cannoli cream, crushed cannoli shell, chocolate chips and homemade Oreo frosting.
Looking for something beyond chocolate? The Fat Rabbit features butter pecan ice cream with a frosted carrot cake core, topped with butterscotch, graham crackers and cream cheese frosting.
“Some of our sundaes are so over the top, it makes it so fun to eat,” Sidoruk said. “It’s not your typical ice cream place at all.”
Sundaes on the move
Delivery is a big part of the business, said Sidoruk, a 2021 Northport High School graduate. It’s also where the “Scootery” in the name comes in.
The company delivers its sundaes as far as 45 minutes away, using travel time rather than mileage to set its delivery boundaries. That means its reach can expand when traffic is light and shrink when roads are backed up.
To help the sundaes survive the trip, the company flash-freezes them just before delivery. Sidoruk said its ice cream’s 14% butterfat content also helps slow melting.
“When I was away at Tufts for college, I always craved this place, and the delivery was my favorite part,” Sidoruk said. “We would order late at night when we were leaving the bar and it would be there by the time we got home.”
The Scoop N Scootery started as a Boston food truck 12 years ago, opening its first brick-and-mortar shop two years later. It now has 10 locations across seven states, with its first Manhattan store expected to open on Bleecker Street in December.
Hours for the Franklin Square shop are still being finalized, but Sidoruk said it won’t close before midnight — and could keep scooping until 2 a.m.
