il laboratorio del gelato

Ice cream shop · Lower East Side

"This popular spot on the LES has some of the most unique gelato flavors in the city, and we’ve yet to try one we haven't liked. Sure, you can get a really good basic hazelnut or dark chocolate here, but we highly recommend branching out. Anything that leans a little savory (cheddar cheese) or spicy (pink peppercorn) is a good bet." - bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, kenny yang
