Notable vanilla soft serve in NYC:

- Ray's Candy Store (East Village)
- Softside (Nolita and Greenpoint)
- Ralph's (East Village)
- Soft Swerve (many locations)
- the Solato machine (22 Vanderbilt)
- Mr. Frostee (trucks)
- New York Ice Cream (trucks)

Not in order, I've tried all of these. Love soft serve.

May I recommend the following:

- Caffe Panna for an Italian take that is more pure cream flavored than full-on vanilla 
- Marvel Frozen Dairy in Astoria for a killer old-school classic ice cream shop approach
