While World of Nuts is no Dylan Candy bar, it is a perfectly good place to stop for a treat. They have a decent selection of candies that you can buy according to weight. It is a little pricey but it is till nice to be able to pick and choose a few select items.

Some of the best low-calorie ice cream in the city. (Smoochies is better, in my opinion, but I think they are going (or have gone?) out of business). In any case, Tasti D-lite has been featured on the Apprentice and on Sex and the City and has about 100 different, wonderful flavors of frozen desert. Most of the chocolate & peanut butter ones are over 10 calories an ounce (sometimes up to 17!), but I think they're also the best. Keep in mind that there are hidden calories to watch out for besides just the flavor. Some machines are different and will insert differing amounts of air into the ice cream (density will affect calories), and some of the workers will give you much, much more ice cream than is 'supposed' to fit into a cup.

First of all the service was with a smile , complete with have a good weekend. Second, I ordered a waffle cone with two scoops and was asked if I would like a spoon...at no charge, the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory where I used to frequent not charges a cup charge if you order a cone and ask for a small cup. Which on a very hot summer night in NYC or the cone will drip all over. But best of all the ice cream was unbelievably delicious. Will go back again and again.
Pros: Friendly staff, great ice cream
Cons: none

The ice cream is good, the coffee great and the milk is better. However, I experienced too much discourteous service for a milk bar for @#$%'s Sake. In any case, I'm going back again, since Chelsea Market is a mecca of wonderful foods, and I must try the other wonderful dairy products they offer.
Pros: inexpensive
Cons: service

ICY has a great selection of Italian ices in unusual flavors. When a friend from Texas was in town visiting me, we went twice a day so she could try all th flavors including green apple and cantaloupe. They are open sporadically in the summer and not at all for chunks of the winter, so it's unpredictable. But if you're in the area and it's warm out, it worth wandering by to see if they're open.

As someone who always craves sweet AND salty, I loved this place. The spicy cheese fries and grilled cheese sandwich were absolutely delicious, and the desserts were GREAT - try the S'mores Popsicle, or the Brownie Sandwich - my favorites! Everything is made from scratch and obviously from very high quality ingredients. Very cute place to go for lunch, or a ladies night out!
Pros: S'mores popsicle!

It was March. It was cold and rainy. I was in Florence and wanted hot chocolate. I saw a place across the piazza and treated myself and my niece to one of the best cups of cocoa we have ever had. But I noticed that the locals were skipping the hot chocolate and diving into the ice cream. I got the message. I ordered their take on chocolate and I discovered that there are worse things than being cold! I was hooked on gelato.
With that as preamble, I have looked far and wide in our area to find gelato as good. Ferrara's is very good (Grand Street). Otto's is wonderful (8th). But Laboratorio's is the best. It's always fresh. They are creative with the flavors (although I still get chocolate on most days). This is a great place in a goofy location.
Like ice cream? You will love gelato. Love gelato? You will love Laboratorio Del Gelato.
