Handcrafted Gelato on a Stick.... Mmm

My gorgeous friend (Miss H) from home flew out yesterday afternoon, but not before we made a last minute trip down to the Village for a well deserved (i.e we had been to the gym) treat.

On the Northern end of Carmine Street, right near the Avenue of the Americas (the much grander name for 6^th Ave) we found what we were looking for ; “Handcrafted gelato on a stick” or PopBar.

Upon entering I was initially paralysed with indecision. Hazelnut, chocolate, kiwi, banana, and more, and then there were the toppings; milk chocolate, dark chocolate, coconut, nuts, nut, nuts.... my oh my... so many combinations and permutations!  I eventually settled on coffee with a milk chocolate half dip and coconut. Miss H went for the peanut butter with dark chocolate and hazelnuts. 

Miss H whose super-powers include never being late and always being paparazzi-ready (no, she isn’t a celebrity) ate her gelato ever so daintily (well, except for one gentle drip that made its way onto her jeans). I on the other hand, was in full battle mode, with the gelato making a stellar getaway through my fingers and down my arms to the safety of the pavement below.  Miss H kindly provided me with a wet-one so I could clean myself up.

With the sun shining (after two days of gloom) a Popsicle treat was the perfect finish for 12 days in New York City.

And I have already decided that next time I will have the vanilla with milk chocolate dip and coconut, and help myself to more than one serviette.
