Unnecessary

From the team behind award-winning cocktail bar, Double Chicken Please, Unnecessary is a design-forward ice cream concept inspired by the craft and precision of cocktail bars.

We create layered, expressive flavors—both dairy and non-dairy—that challenge what ice cream can be. Drawing from cocktails, wine, and modern hospitality, our menu is built with intention: familiar at first, but never obvious.

Our Lower East Side shop is a standing, counter-service format with full-service standards. We care deeply about execution, product knowledge, and how guests feel in the space.

We’re building a team of people who take pride in craft and hospitality—whether your background is in bars, restaurants, or cafes. This is an opportunity to help shape something new from the ground up.
