"In 2002 Jon Snyder opened Laboratorio as a small window on Orchard Street, but in a few years moved into the current gleaming facility, looking much like a laboratory, on Houston Street across from Katz’s. Dozens of flavors are available daily, many unusual, like beet, cheddar cheese, and Thai chile chocolate." - Melissa McCart, Robert Sietsema
"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

"A Lower East Side gelato shop where the cereal-based flavor has been spotted among specialty offerings in New York City." - Dana Hatic
