It seems nearly every day recently has been devoted to food (National Cheesecake Day was nice, but not as fun as National Tequila Day). Well, folks, today is no different. Thursday is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, and some spots in the city are celebrating with discounts on the classic American dessert. Here’s a look at some of the most creative (or just plain delicious) ice cream sammies in New York City.

To celebrate National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, the famed New York City chocolate shop is offering 20 percent off all ice cream sandwiches (which normally set you back a bit more than a 5 spot). The handcrafted cold stuff is known as some of the city’s finest, most natural ice cream. And when it’s sandwiched between the chocolatier’s famously gooey, crumbly cookie…well, don’t say we didn’t warn you. Jacques Torres Chocolate has locations on Amsterdam Ave, and in Brooklyn (62 Water Street), Chelsea Market (75 Ninth Ave) and 30 Rock.

The Meatball Shop is known for their customizable sammies. When it comes to meat, have things exactly the way you want them: ‘balls made from your choice of beef, pork, chicken, vegetable, or whatever the special of the day is (a recent special: jerk chicken, habanero pepper, all spice with mango chutney) topped with your choice of tomato, spicy meat sauce, mushroom gravy, Parmesan cream, or pesto. But forget dessert, which is just as customizable: pick two cookies, mix and match encouraged, and choose your ice cream flavor to smush into the center for an incredible ice cream sandwich.
