What Manhattan does
to an ice machine.

Where ice machines sit in Manhattan: tower living, older housing stock, small cafes and back bars.

All of New York Metro

Tower living

A tower's lobby bar, rooftop lounge and residents' club often share modular ice machines whose condensers sit on the roof, and a long remote line that loses its charge or its fan shows up downstairs as a head that freezes slowly and a bin that never fills.

Older housing stock

Old commercial buildings turned into bars and restaurants often have a single aging supply serving the whole back of house, and an ice machine on it fills its trough short whenever the dish area draws water, which shows as small or partial sheets of cubes.

Small cafes and back bars

Where one short counter serves coffee, drinks and ice, the scoop tends to live inside the bin, and a handle touched by hands all day is how slime starts on the bin walls, so a clean cycle and a scoop holder solve more than any part.

Battery Park City

Every acre of Battery Park City is reclaimed land, created in the 1970s from over 3 million cubic yards of rock and soil, largely from the World Trade Center excavation.

Greenwich Village

The Village's landmark district spans over 50 blocks in its north and west, running as far as 14th Street.

SoHo

Landmark rules cover nearly every block of SoHo, whose cast-iron district got city protection in 1973 and a larger footprint in 2010 that took in most of West Broadway.

Tribeca

Tribeca's restaurants and converted lofts run ice machines on old industrial plumbing, and a clear-ice undercounter unit in a renovated loft kitchen often sends its water to a distant drain through a pump, the first part checked.

Upper East Side

Upper East Side restaurants and doorman buildings keep ice machines in small back rooms and basements, and a machine whose air-cooled condenser shares a closet with other equipment is often short of air in a summer heat wave.

Upper West Side

Lincoln Center, which opened in the 1960s, and the Lincoln Towers apartment complex were products of urban renewal at the south end of the West Side.
