I was intrigued by the “sour, like it should be” frozen yogurt at Zabar’s—Dude! How come no one told me about Zabar’s?—and my sample was much better than Pinkberry, like it should be. But I got the frozen custard instead because, come on. Moments later I got caught in a downpour and ended up drinking my custard.

I’ve been seeing these places all over New York which I thought served some kind of magical soft-serve yogurt/gelato hybrid. Turns out the soft-serve is just regular old yogurt (sour, like it should be, and also better than Pinkberry), but they also have yogurt-based gelato! And I’m glad I went that route became I came up with the winning combination of Ferrero Rocher and coconut. It’s a Mounds bar!

These places are really all over New York: Tasti D-Lite. The most fascinating thing about Tasti D-Lite is not what it tastes like (chocolate and vanilla swirled air) rather it’s listening to everyone try to confirm their theories about how healthy it is. “How many calories in a cone of peanut butter fudge, do you think?” asked a guy with big arms and long curly hair. “250?” Honey, if you’re so worried, go home and have an apple.

More photographic treats, frozen or unfrozen.
