Superman Ice Cream in NYC?
I'm a native Michigander who's just moved to NYC and I'm dying for a scoop of Superman ice cream.
(For those who are unfamiliar with this Michigan specialty, check out this blog post, which explains all: http://jamelah.net/2009/06/10/favorite-things-4-superman-ice-cream/)
Does anyone know of an ice cream shop in Manhattan (or another borough, I'm willing to travel) where I could get my fix? Bonus points if it's within walking distance of Union Square. All advice is appreciated.

I've never seen this but I'm intrigued! I'm going to Michigan to visit my family in a few weeks. Do you know if they have this in the UP?

OMG, I have not had Superman ice cream since I was a kid! I never liked it, but my sister adored it. I lived in Northern Indiana growing up, and we had it both around there and as far south as Turkey Run State Park where we would camp and go to the local ice cream parlors. I know you can get it in parts of Ohio and Illinois too.
Don't know for certain you will find it in the UP, but you very well may. I know my best friends' little ones had it in Traverse City (I was still cleaning it out of my car seats 2 weeks later) so it is quite possible it is all over.
Check the local places for the best chances, rather than national chains.
There are some ice cream companies that ship, so maybe the OP can treat themselves to an overnighted quart from a place that makes/stocks it if it can't be found in NYC.
Good luck on the hunt.
