Hmhmmh…Yogurtland. :) I was intrigued by this concept ever since I saw pictures of multi-colored bits of “fro-yo” on a friend’s Facebook page this past summer. I had been eating increasing amounts of frozen yogurt ever since discovering Pinkberry and Red Mango spring semester. But Yogurtland. It was different. I absolutely loved the self-service aspect and the freedom of choosing which handle to pull as yogurt slowly oozed into my cup. I stepped in, and I was immediately hit by a blast of bright happy light and pinkness.
If you are new to Yogurtland, don’t forget to ask the person behind the counter for some free sample cups! Try before you buy. My favorite flavors include mango, green tea, blueberry, peach, and cookies & creme, and I like to squirt a little of each flavor into my cup for maximum variety. When you’re done with your yogurt selection, it’s time to move onto the toppings! You can garnish your yogurt with a variety of (mostly) fresh chopped fruit, cereal, cookie dough, and MOCHI. *yum yum* You pay by the ounce (39 cents/oz right now), and my cup of frozen yogurt usually costs less than an equivalent cup at other yogurt places. Now it’s time to dig into your delicious, colorful concoction!
Yogurtland is located in the West Village, so if you’re looking for something similar in the East Village, I recommend 16 Handles (slightly more expensive).
I've been told that a certain smile breaks across my face whenever the subject of food is brought up, a smile that radiates the purest forms of delight and happiness. Food transcends beyond the smell and taste of what's presented in front of me; it's an experience to be enjoyed, indulged, shared with those I love. Working and living in NYC continually opens culinary doors, from hole-in-the-walls to upscale (even stuffy) dining. I never take any morsel of food for granted, and I'm often THAT girl at the table found licking her plate at the end of the meal.
