Max and Mina's was named number 1 of the top 10 unique ice cream parlors in America in Everybody Loves Ice Cream, the Whole Scoop on America's favorite treat by Shannos Jackson Arnold, Emmis Books, July 2004. The Travel Channel listed the shop as "one of America's most famous ice cream paradises."[6] Some Manhattan restaurants offer Max & Mina's Ice Cream on their dessert menus.
