I will not bore you with my newfound love of the tart yogurty deliciousness that is Pinkberry, since it is not currently available in Brooklyn. If you are ever in Chelsea, the 30s, the Upper East Side, or L.A., however, you MUST try it. I'm not sure how they get the crack into their product, but it's there and it will make you happy. My quest for Pinkberry and the trip down the early 90s yogurt lane led me to another new yogurt phenom, Yolato (pictured above) that's currently open in the Village and Upper West Side. As the name suggests, it's a combination of yogurt and gelato, and, according to the website, a location is opening on Smith Street in the 3rd quarter. Nothing, of course, will beat the deliciousness that is Court Pastry's Italian ice, but I'm wondering how Yolato stacks up to Pinkberry. Oh, and if you cannot wait and refuse to go into Manhattan for Pinkberry or Yolato, check out this great site that tells you how to make a Pinkberry approximation yourself.
