CELEBRATING THE UPPER EAST SIDE ICE CREAM SHOP'S 4TH ANNIVERSARY

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise in celebration of the Upper East Side Ice Cream Shop's 4th anniversary of operation in my District.
At the entrance, you will find yourself frozen with intrigue at the pink exterior of the shop, enticing customers in from a scorching summer day. Once you enter, you will be greeted by the sweet smells of waffle cones, the soft hum of freezers preserving their precious creamy contents, and of course the modern decor that characterizes many of New York's most famous establishments.
The Upper East Side Ice Cream Shop is also home to a special hidden treasure--a small speakeasy in the back of the shop. Where the front of the store is modern-day in its design and decor, the back is a tasteful mishmash of 20th century style and dining booths. It truly has everything for all ages and all tastes.
The Upper East Side Ice Cream Shop represents perhaps one of the most enduring and important characteristics of New York City: that even the smallest players can play a big role in an even bigger city. The COVID-
19 pandemic has frozen out many businesses in New York City, with many neighborhood favorites still slowly thawing thanks to President Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan.
I am pleased that the Upper East Side Ice Cream Shop is one of the small businesses that survived the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to thrive even as the weather turns cold.
I wish them all the best and I look forward to visiting them at their establishment for many more years to come.
