Maggie ArroyoOctober 3, 2010There are benches across the street in front of the Tenement Museum where you can sit and enjoy your gelato.
Amaretto crunch, black sesame, pumpkin, pear, grape sorbet, hazelnut.....make my worldy go around
Becki WSeptember 11, 2011New much bigger location @ Ludlow & East Houston. 48 flavors means 3 times the yum!
Carl AnhaltAugust 31, 2014Stick to the gelato. The tangerine sorbet tasted fine but had a very unappealing icy texture.
- toasted almond, creme freche, and hazelnut gelato is cash money
They're going flavor crazy with the newer, larger location. Try the mango gelato when available.
Gaby FloMay 28, 2012Take the F train at Second Avenue and Houston Street two stops uptown to West 4th Street.
Richard ChuMay 23, 2010what a gem! dark chocolate and acacia honey is awesome. pineapple too. coffee is good too
Ask for samples. Be brave, try the "different" ones. Trust them.
Insanely creative and realistic-tasting flavors. Must go! Grom pales in comparison...
