LONG BEACH, NY — With the Memorial Day weekend upon us, it's a chance to move forward from COVID-19.
For business owner Melissa Tavss, the holiday marks an important beginning for her as well. Her alcohol-infused ice cream shop Tipsy Scoop is debuting in Long Beach's West End.
Tavss has a handful of stores, starting the franchise in Chelsea and Williamsburg, and expanding with kiosks at Citi Field and Las Vegas. But, this marks her first Long Island location.
