Glace, the ice cream and confections destination helmed by Sasha Zabar, is opening its newest location on the Upper East Side. Located at 1268 Madison Avenue between 90th and 91st Streets, this elegant new shop, situated next door to the original location, marks a significant upgrade in both space and experience.

The bright and airy space, designed by Levi Shaw-Faber and Audrey Hughes of Faber / Hughes, features an entirely new menu of housemade ice creams, alongside seasonal sundaes and favorites like the S’mores Hot Chocolate and Glacier.

The new space features cotton-candy pink 20-foot ceilings, anchored by a sculptural oculus and illuminated by marshmallow-inspired mobiles, a nod to Glace’s signature toasted meringue. The vibrant marble bar showcases the 14 artisanal ice cream flavors, and includes an interactive topping station and a decadent chocolate fountain.

The new menu reflects the seasonal bounty of New York, celebrating the end of peach season with Summer Peach Soft Serve, Peach Melba Sundae, and New York Peach Pie Ice Cream, with fresh peaches sourced from Anderson Farm in Riverhead, New York.

The revamped menu also includes an array of housemade ice creams and sorbets that marry the finesse of French glacé with the richness of Italian gelato. Under the guidance of Gelato Master Giacomo Schiavon, Sasha perfected flavors like Tiramisu, Crème Brûlée, Amarena & Yogurt, Lemon Custard & Raspberry and Hazelnut Cremino. The indulgent new Chocolate Mousse Sundae featuring a choice of ice cream topped with chocolate mousse, whipped cream, and caramelized cacao nibs that is served in a gluten-free Waffle Cup.

Glace will be open seven days a week from 12pm-8pm. For more information, visit http://www.glaceny.com
