"Walk into any of Maya’s Snack Bar’s three locations (Bushwick, East Williamsburg, and Jackson Heights), and you’ll feel Willy Wonka magic in the rainbow walls and carefully constructed piña loca and tostilocos. Truthfully, we can’t tell you to go to this whimsical Mexican snack shop and only get a paleta, but do try at least one. We’re partial to the watermelon because it adorably emulates the fruit with a little green and white ice trim on the bottom. But the oreo is great too, with two whole oreos lodged in a milky paleta with flecks of chocolate. Anything you get here will look and taste like the best kiddie birthday party you’ve ever been to." - neha talreja
