Freaky FroYos: The Search For Decent Frozen Yogurt in NYC
Written by Sabrina Roberts on April 6, 2009
One would think that on an island so insanely packed with everything else, tasty frozen yogurt would be easy to come by, yet recent developments have caused concerns about accessing quality fro-yo; at least for me. I’m a longstanding fan of the treat since the TCBY and Everything Yogurt days, good brands both. I haven’t seen a TCBY in years for the exception of rest stops. Everything Yogurt actually became Bananas and I’ve never seen one of those.
Instead, I have seen a few new frozen yogurt establishments pop up whose products I’ve sampled and been disheartened. A place near where I used to work sold Yolato. I swear I am not lying when I say it tasted exactly like Lemon Pledge. Not that I eat Lemon Pledge… but when I used to, it could have passed for the product Yolato claims is frozen yogurt. I was disappointed to say the least.
Some friends recommended other places I should try, namely Pinkberry and Red Mango. There happens to be one of each adjacent to each other on 14th St. and 6th Ave., so one day I decided to check them both out. First I stopped at Red Mango; a friend had recently raved about the place. I never purchase without sampling and though it was definitely better than the Lemon Pledge, I didn’t like it enough to buy any. I moved on.
I had heard and read a lot about Pinkberry, and as I approached the counter I felt pretty confident I was going to leave with some frozen yogurt and ordered a sample of regular, which I took to be vanilla; but I just didn’t like it. One particular brand that I do like that no one else seems to is Smoochies. I also really like Tasty Delite and there are plenty of these around when needed. Then too, sometimes you can still find the ol’ Columbo standby at a deli or salad bar. Needless to say, the quest goes on – to be continued…

I’m not sure I can recommend the Xoom over any of the other tablets out there right now (especially that sexy little Galtab 10.1), but don’t remember ever hearing people complain about price drops.

Nike Sandals are made from the finest American materials. This means that their quality is much higher than sandals made by other manufacturers. If you’re in the market for a new shoe, check out Adidas Sandals made in the USA. They’re breathable footwear that also lives up to typical shoe standards of quality and substance. mens sandals They do offer a better fit and a longer life than sandals made from cheaper materials. Many major high end sandal manufacturers can customize their Cheap Sandals to fit any man’s foot. Custom fit sandals are worth it, because normal sport sandals do not fit the average mans foot well.
