Strolling down the side of central park and I run into a small gelato ice cream truck. It was hot, so I wanted to give this truck a try. I got the melon and lemonade gelato and the combination was not bad at all. It was a mixture of sweet and sour (since the lemonade flavor one is from real lemons). It is really refreshing and quick (if there isn't a line). The gelato was so creamy and it is at a good price. Gelato should be pricey if it is good quality.
Wow. Amazing gelato. I actually found this place with sheer chance while walking around shopping in the UES. I figured, I have the time to go to the Met, so why not just walk there? Well, on my way I saw this random gelato truck. I proceeded to, of course, Yelp it to see how it was, and it was legitimate enough to warrant a shot. One of the cool things about Grom is that the flavors offered change on a monthly basis. This way, you can keep on coming back to get that gelato fix.
I decided to go with a cup of gelato, split amongst two flavors. For just under $5, it was about what you'd typically pay for gelato. I went with the Vaniglia and Mango as my two choices. I must say, the gelato here was pretty on point. Each flavor was nice and creamy, and rich with flavor. Plus, where else are you able to get some nice desserts around 72nd St.?
Due to the fact that this spot is so tiny, you might just walk on past it and not even know. Nonetheless, when you do finally make your way, whether it be on your way to the Met, you won't be disappointed. New York City has a billion trucks around the city, and this is just one of the select ones that offers up some legitimate food.
Closest gelato to Italy as you can get in NYC. Loved all the flavours especially the tiramisu and niccola.
THEY HAVE A MINI-STAND???
We were actually heading to the mortar-brick Grom shop but found ourselves walking past this 'lil thing of beauty. It was a hot, sunny afternoon and a trek around the Upper East Side left us in bit of a gelato "emergenza".
Their flavors are limited but they have the basics: vaniglia, pistacchio, nocciola, tiramisu. Plus a seasonal sorbet. They'll whip it into a milkshake (frappe), or drown it in hot coffee (affogato al caffe).
As evidenced by the crowd around the stand, 'lil G was a nice sweet reprieve for all and a must visit if you're ever in the area!
Fancy Shmancy Gelato Food Stand. Would it be uneducated if I called it an Ice Cream stand? Since, well, you know the feud between Gelato not being Ice cream and all. People take that stuff seriously man! Anywho, A friend of mine was telling me he had tried Grom Gelato before and it's all the rage, so obviously we had to give it a whirl… On a cone ofcourse.
It's smooth Gelato that is scooped and chilled right in front of your eyes by "Gelato experts." At $5.75 for two moderate sized scoops that look and taste more rich than ice cream in my opinion.. Not as rich as Mr. Softee, but still gave me the impression I was swallowing creamy ice cream.
Worth a try, but 2 scoops are more than enough, and get them in a cup.. This stuff melts very quickly!
I got the pistachio and Vanilla mix.. I preferred the vanilla, and that usually never happens.
