Description

Lots of fancy ice creams, gelatos, and ices in town, but none can quite match the perversely named Il Laboratorio del Gelato, where the technicians and counter force wear white lab coats (cool gimmick) and bustle around like scientists. Only a handful of flavors are available every day. On a recent visit, the tastiest gelato was a puce-colored pistachio of surpassing subtlety, while a fruit-rife strawberry ice cannily avoided the usual mistake: too sweet.

  • 2007 | Sarah McLachlan's Last Meal

    In "Ice Cream," the Grammy Award–winning Canadian songstress claims that love is better than ice cream. To disabuse her of this absurd notion, we'll be whisking her to Il Laboratorio del Gelato, where one spoonful of chocolate Kahlua, vanilla saffron, black mission fig, or the unforgettable Earl Grey ice cream ought to convince her of the folly of her assertion. Maybe ice cream is better than love, but is it better than sex? Hardly! More »
