The Upper East Side is getting a sweet addition. Portland’s cult-favorite ice cream shop Salt & Straw will open at Naftali Group’s new luxury condo tower at 255 East 77th Street . Anticipated to open in spring 2027, the shop will occupy 1,650 square feet on the ground floor of the 500-foot-tall residential building. The beloved ice cream brand opened its first NYC location on the Upper West Side in September 2024, debuting signature Big Apple–inspired flavors, followed by a second spot in the West Village shortly after.

Founded by cousins Kim and Tyler Malek in 2011, Salt & Straw has grown from a single pushcart into a nationally beloved brand with scoop shops in Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Arizona, and now New York. The company also ships its flavors nationwide.
