When we have these pop-up models, we’re not able to hold space for our community. So to be able to give them a place, not just programmatically, but also to have it be a place that’s theirs is so important to us.” The new New York flagship location will be in Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood.</p></em><br /><br /><p><a href="https://archinect.com/features/article/150129172/extra-extra-a-sprinkle-of-defense-of-the-museum-of-ice-cream" target="_blank">The Museum of Ice Cream (MIC)</a> started s a pop-up experience in New York and Los Angeles, but now it has finally acquired its first permanent location.
