Fruit-blended ice cream on the East Side. This Harvey Street shop offers a New Zealand-style frozen treat rather than a conventional scoop-shop format.

Italian gelato on South First. Choose this branch for a frozen-dessert stop alongside the neighborhood’s restaurants, with flavors that change rather than a guaranteed fixed selection.
