Build Your Own Sundae Launches at Rock Center’s Summer Garden & Bar #MySummerSundae   

Every Father’s Day our family goes back and forth trying to come up with unique suggestions about where we can take Dad for a treat. This year we have come up with one that will not soon be forgotten. The Summer Garden & Bar  at Rock Center Café has a special treat for ice cream lovers this Father’s Day and throughout the summer. The seasonal outdoor dining venue (which replaces The Rink at Rockefeller Center each year) now offers a DIY sundae service, a menu giving guests the chance to create the sundae of their dreams, with house made ice cream flavors, toppings, syrups, whipped cream and more. Guests are invited to choose their ingredients, and then build their own sundae at the table, with 58 million possible personalized sundae combinations on the menu. These are real choices and there are many- so be prepared to have to make decisions! There will no disappointment with the new Summer Sundae. Everyone in the family can make their own personal choices and create a Sundae they will adore!

It all begins with the most incredible housemade ice cream flavors ever. They include chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. Chef Gabriel churns the ice cream at his bake shop beneath Rock Center along with baking cakes and brownies as toppings and making his own syrups and sauces.  Created by Pastry Chef Michael Gabriel, the sundae is designed to be highly interactive. “Every summer we have a high demand for ice cream, and guests today increasingly want to customize dessert their own way,” explained Gabriel. “We wanted to add a playful twist by revamping all-American favorites and added that the most-requested flavors and toppings — birthday cake is currently #1″.

 So bring on the ice cream. You can choose from vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry- Choose three- any combo will work. Then choose FIVE toppings which are an ode to classic candy shop treats: M&M’s, gummy bears, and candied pecans, mini marshmallows, chocolate chip cookie dough, Oreo cookie crumble, caramel pearls, peanut butter cups, rainbow sprinkles, or brownie bites! , vintage-style sugar-swirl lollipops and caramel pearls. Choose two syrups from- chocolate, salted caramel, strawberry or peanut butter. For a spectacular bigger than life ending you can choose one chocolate covered banana, birthday cake, red velvet cupcake or sugar swirl lollipop! Of course you can top it all off with whipped cream and a cherry! This is a great treat for yourself or to share. There is definitely enough for two…or more.

If you prefer to not make any decisions you can always go with the preselected, “The Classic”. Any way you take your Summer Sundae will be the right way. This is one sundae you will not soon forget! So if you are looking for a great place to celebrate Dad or an awesome summer fun head right to the Summer Garden & Bar at Rock Center Café, New York City.
