Biddrina Gelato

"Biddrina is a gelato cart around the corner from Clinton Hill’s Locanda Vini e Olii, and it’s operated by the same people, weather permitting. (During the winter you can get their ice cream at the restaurant.) Anything you choose from the rotating flavors, like turmeric and amarena cherries, crema with marmalade, or plant-based halva and honey, will be a true pleasure to ingest. But the bright orange cantaloupe puts every other fruity ice cream to shame, and might even elicit an audible gasp. If every restaurant had a gelato cart outside of it, the world would be a much more delicious place." - bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, kenny yang

"If every restaurant had a gelato cart outside of it, the world would be a much more delicious place. We know this because of Biddrina, a gelato cart from the people behind Locanda Vini e Olii in Clinton Hill. A necessary after-dinner stop around the corner from the restaurant, the cart is open daily from 3pm-10pm, weather permitting. It's stocked with rotating dairy and plant-based flavors, like olive oil topped with toasted breadcrumbs, ricotta and pear, and Sicilian pistachio. Anything you choose will be a true pleasure to ingest, but if they have the cantaloupe, get it. Almost overwhelmingly creamy and just sweet enough, it puts every other fruity ice cream to shame. We have witnessed two people audibly gasp upon sampling it. (Disclaimer: we were one of them.)" - Willa Moore
