Taste-Testing NYC’s Most Viral Mozzarella Sticks

"At around 9 p.m. on a recent Sunday I waited in a line of a few dozen people for matcha, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, or raspberry yogurt from a toppings bar priced at $1.20 per ounce; inside the cold, tangy air felt like a probiotic inhaler and an attendant even offered a sample. I grabbed a pint-size cup and combined the signature (plain), vanilla, and raspberry: the vanilla was creamy and soft, the signature provided a health-forward tartness, and the raspberry split the difference. Worth the wait? Mimi’s is good enough to compete with Manhattan’s other queue-forming froyos and there is something for everyone, though it’s on the expensive side—I ended up spending $22—so if you’re going to wait, you might as well be seen." - Tammie Teclemariam
