It's hotter than a gorilla's armpit out there, folks. And along with the sweet relief that you're getting from the city's public pools and cooling centers, 'tis the sweaty season for a good frozen treat. Luckily, New York is full of them, from smooth soft serve to slushy cocktails, and this week you'll have even more heat-beating options courtesy of Glace.

From now through Sunday, July 20, Glace—the sweet local chainlet that made waves with its luxurious hot chocolate and small-batch ice cream—is launching an exclusive summer collaboration series at their retro-inspired Rock Center truck, teaming up with some of the most beloved restaurants in the neighborhood for the season.
Parked at 30 Rockefeller Plaza (on 49th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, in front of FAO Schwarz), you'll find the Glace truck, which will be doling out a rotating menu of one-of-a-kind frozen desserts made in partnership with Rock Center’s most recognizable culinary institutions including Le Rock, Five Acres, Smith & Mills, NARO and Lobel’s Original. Each treat will pair Glace's signature ice creams and frozen drinks "with the distinct flavors and creativity of each restaurant," per the Glace team.
