Rainbow.  Roughly 92nd and Western (south).
If not, Margie's Candies at 1960 N Western is great too.

UGH!  RIP, I remember they did this Spaghetti and Meatball's thing- Zabaglione noodles, Double-Chocolate-Something Meatballs, and a Strawberry sauce.  The Penguin will get a nod next time I'm up Lawrence way.

Peterson's in Oak Par (Chicago Avenue one block east of Harlem) has excellent ice cream.  Not technically in the city - but close.
