My top3 🍦picks :

🥇Anita La Mamma del Gelato

They have about 20 flavors of gelato and yogurt and 20 different toppings. They add new flavors almost every week, so there is always something new. You get a big scoop for the price.

🥈Matcha Cafe Maiko

This is a great spot for matcha desserts and soft serve ice cream. Their Ube (purple yam) ice cream with "Sho-gun," which is soft serve with a real gold leaf on top is a must-try.

🥉Amorino Gelato - New York Times Square

They are famous for making your ice cream look like a beautiful rose. You can pick as many flavors as you want for the flower's petals from their 36 options.
