Why not?

Say you are in NYC and want something better. Just go to the Chinatown
Ice cream factory on Bayard St. There is a Hagan-Das only 1/2 block away
from it. The Hagan-Das has barely any customers and there is always a
continuous stream of customers going into the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory.

If you were in my area and wanted to do better than Hagan-Das you could
go to one of the two family owned dairies in the area. The cows are
behind the fence in the pasture and the processing is done in the
buildings right behind the dairy bar.
