‘Oddfellows’ Readies New Ice Cream Shop Beside the Chefs Club Counter on Lafayette Street
The division is quite clear, both in exterior color scheme and interior layout. Makes sense, though, as the new Chefs Club Counter spinoff will soon welcome a dessert option into the fold. Word on the street is that Oddfellows is opening a new ice creamery here.
Workers were recently spotted readying the adjacent space, painting red pinstripes on the walls. This bold striping, of course, is token Oddfellows branding, which appears on its ice cream pints.
The rumored location at 60 Lafayette would be the first foray into SoHo for Oddfellows, which got its start four years ago in Williamsburg. Their East 4th Street shop opened in 2014.
