For anyone who finds themselves craving ice cream all year long, there is now a soft serve vending machine that will dispense the sweet stuff on demand. Serving up delicious soft serve and a wide array of toppings, the ice cream ATM is the answer to every dessert lovers dream.
The new soft serve vending machine is a bubblegum pink device located in the corner of Bar Moxy at New York's Moxy Times Square hotel. Officially dubbed the 'Love Machine,' the ice cream ATM is the result of a partnership with the artist Curtis Kulig and is completely open to the public. Those who use the machine will be able to enjoy Mike's Hot Honey Vanilla, Dairy Free Dark Chocolate soft serve, or a swirled combination of both flavors. Better yet, patrons can add indulgent toppings such as rainbow sprinkles, Mini M&M's, Green Yogurt Chips, Mike's Hot Honeycomb, and Legasea Black-Out Cookies.
