Time is quickly melting away for this beloved creamery!

The owners of the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory in Brooklyn Bridge Park must close their store inside the historic fireboat station at Fulton Ferry Landing by the end of the year, after green-space stewards handed the keys to the property to the folks behind another borough scoop shop, Ample Hills Creamery.

“They made a choice, I have until the end of this month to vacate,” said Mark Thompson, who owns the Dumbo creamery with restaurateur Buzzy O’Keefe of the famous River Cafe next door.

News of the Factory’s imminent end came as a cold slap in the face to dozens of fans of the creamery at the Dumbo end of the park — which opened in 2001 back when the city’s Economic Development Corporation operated the station — many of whom left comments lamenting the change on an Instagram post announcing its closure. https://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/41/50/dtg-ample-hill-brooklyn-bridge-park-2018-12-14-bk.html
