"For a quick, fully customizable bubble tea fix, go to Star Snow Ice. Everything here is utilitarian, delicious, and cheaper than other boba spots (around $4 per drink). The original location—the second one is in the corner of Dun Huang plaza—has been serving boba tea and flavored shaved ice in Chinatown for over 20 years. With classic flavors from the standard jasmine milk tea to honeydew tea with rainbow jelly, you can get just about any kind of bubble tea combination under the sun." - gianni greene
