The creators of trendy cookie shop Chip will expand across western Queens this spring with the opening of an ice cream shop in Astoria in May and a new Chip cookie shop location in Long Island City in June.

Chip Ice Cream will specialize in ice cream blended with Chip cookies, ice cream sandwiches and classic ice cream flavors.

The ice cream shop will have a soft opening the second or third week of May near the intersection of 41st Street and 31st Avenue. The store will be open seven days a week from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. starting June 1.

Chip will then open a new cookie shop near Queens Plaza in June. Further details about the bakery will be released later this week, said Chip owner Peter, who declined to give his full name.

Since Chip opened at 30-06 34th St last summer, the shop has become locally famous for its thick cookies with zany flavors such as apple pie and s’mores— and for attracting long lines of dessert lovers. The shop sells more than 1,000 cookies each day, Peter said.

Chip Ice Cream will seek to reproduce some of that magic with a dessert that is as nostalgic as fresh-baked cookies, said Peter.

“We thought it was a really good complement for cookies,” said Peter.

The shop will blend favorite Chip cookies into its ice cream and create ice cream sandwiches crafted with a slightly thinner version of the original chip cookie. The ice cream and sandwiches will be assembled on site, although the ice cream itself will be prepared at another location.

Like the original Chip, the shop will be a small grab and go dessert parlor, with stools and outdoor benches.

Queens gun buyback takes 74 firearms off streets, including ghost guns and assault weapons: DA

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday that 74 firearms were taken off the streets at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in Jamaica during a gun buyback event on Saturday, June 14. The weapons were exchanged for bank cards pre-loaded with cash, with no identification required and no questions asked.

“Gun buybacks serve as a critical tool for reducing gun violence and promoting public safety within our communities,” Katz said. “This Saturday, working with the NYPD and clergy leaders in Jamaica, we received 74 surrendered guns — including five automatic weapons. As a result, these firearms will not be used to cause heartache and tragedy.”
