This Greenpoint darling, the Van Leeuwen ice cream shop, serving stuff house made by owners Laura O’Neill, husband Ben Van Leeuwen, and brother-in-law Pete Van Leeuwen, has opened a larger shop at Bergen and Smith Streets (as reported in the Brooklyn Paper), where it will compete head to head with Blue Marble and Jill’s Ice Cream, from the Hudson Valley, served at Karloff on Court Street. I see a homeade, all-natural ice cream contest on the horizon…
