Jimmy's Gelato

One of 2005's best surprises was the addition of this tiny gelato stand outside Bowery Kitchen Supply in the Chelsea Market. Few places in New York offer such smooth, top-quality Italian gelati, and Franscesco Realmuto has struck gold here. Made fresh daily, the most exotic flavors include chocolate with hot pepper, mixed berry, mango, straciatella, pistachio, and coconut. All are extraordinary, and the prices are quite reasonable. We'll let you in on a big secret: arrive after 5 pm and get a pint or quart for half-price!
