i was taking christine and val on a walking tour of manhattan and we passed by chelsea market on our way to the high line. of course we had to stop in and check it out. after walking by several different cupcake shops, i remembered reading on a food blog somewhere something about a fancy popsicle shop in the market. in new york city, everything is fancified - even the popsicles.
we made our way over to people's pops, which is a small booth in the "arcade" of the market (right behind the jacques-torres booth). the chalkboard lists the day's flavors - all made with fresh and local ingredients, of course. christine and i each had a blueberries and cream pop (pictured) and val had the lemon ice. my blueberry pop was less a popsicle than it was frozen blueberries on a stick and i didn't taste any cream at all. it was $3.50 a pop (i know) but i feel like i got a full serving of fruit out of it. a nice treat for a hot summer day.
3.50 a pop! Karen you've just killed any chance of financial solvency I have in Manhattan since i'll be working RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THERE AND OMG DID I MENTION HOW DELICIOUS THEY LOOK?
ReplyDeletehahaha. it's okay because you can eat your free meals in the office and walk over for dessert. 3.50 ain't so bad when you think of it that way.
ReplyDeleteoh man! i think fancy popsicles might be the new thing - i had some at loco pops in durham, NC (and even managed to injure myself on one). i will blog about them at some point...
