Il Laboratorio Del Gelato

This is the best gelato I’ve had in the city. I make special trips to the Lower East Side just to get my fix. So far flavors that have knocked my sock off include Black Mission Fig, Fresh Mint, Honey Lavendar, Pumpkin, Black Sesame and Chocolate. The also make astonishing sorbets including Black Currant, Black Plum, Grapefruit and Green Grape. Everything tastes of the fresh ingredients in their names, not like flavorings.

Not neccessarily for traditionalists, but a foodie paradise.

The only disadvantage is that there is not really anyplace to sit down, so it’s best to window shop while savoring your treats.
