Brooklyn-based ice cream phenom Ample Hills Creamery is opening its doors Nov. 3 in Jersey City. The first 100 customers to get through its doors will be treated to free scoops. The Jersey City shop of this ice cream powerhouse, rated No. 1 ice cream in NYC by Zagat (and many hipsters in Brooklyn), is housed in Jersey City Urby, the city's tallest residential building that's located on the waterfront.

And to celebrate the occasion? Ample Hills has created a new flavor, Jersey City Golden Door, which features cannoli filling-infused ice cream, Irish Whiskey cake pieces, and a German streusel crumble. Children's size: $3.95, Small: $4.95, Large: $6.95 at Ample Hills, 200 Greene St., Jersey City; 201-200- 2611.

Be prepared for some out-of-the-box ice cream flavors such as Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, pretzel-infused The Munchies, and The Raw Deal, vanilla ice cream with chocolate flakes and homemade brown butter chocolate cookie dough.
