Melissa Tavss started Tipsy Scoop™
Melissa Tavss started Tipsy Scoop™ in 2014, inspired by her great-great-great grandfather who made ice cream at home and sold it in a push cart. Following in the ice cream tradition, she began to experiment with putting a modern boozy twist on ice cream. Now, Tipsy Scoop is New York City’s (and perhaps even the world’s) first boozy ice cream spot. Inspired by classic and contemporary cocktails, these ice creams are ready to be devoured straight from the pint, scooped into a sundae or blended into a malt-ini milkshake. Tipsy Scoop’s intoxicating ice creams are not merely flavored with liquor, but in fact contain up to 5% alcohol by volume.

Two Fish Seafood Boil
The COVID-19 pandemic caused over 10% of restaurants in the United States to permanently close. Chicago-based black female entrepreneur Yasmin Curtis’ Two Crab Shack could have been among the statistics. Instead, it resulted in starting a consumer goods business that has allowed Curtis’s food to reach thousands of seafood boil devotees nationwide. With indoor dining closed and without a carryout system in place, Curtis took to her kitchen, combining customer-favorite shrimp and snow crab legs with her “3 The Chi-Way” sauce in an easy-to-use, frozen package fans could keep in their freezers and enjoy from the convenience of home. Yasmin first debuted her seafood boil bag at a local market event, where it sold out within 30 minutes. Today, Two Fish Foods’ shrimp and snow crab seafood boil bags are available in the freezer section at thousands of grocery stores nationwide.
