So after having lunch in New York's Chinatown and taking a stroll through little Italy, we took a…read moresubway ride to New York's K-Town or aka as Korea Town. Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert. They definitely had more dessert options to offer, but i

Overall, a great casual dessert stop after exploring K-Town, Midtown or nearby Chelsea.

Next time maybe we will hang out. Definitely worth trying!

It would be perfect for a date night or catching up with a small group of friends. They had a great selection of flavors, but I went with the Tennessee Crème Brûlée. It was sooo good--rich, creamy, and definitely worth trying. My only complaint is that I wish the serving was a little bigger, but I get it... there's alcohol in it. We ended up staying much longer than we planned, just talking and enjoying the atmosphere. It was the perfect way to end the night, and I'll definitely be back.

Don't remember what I had the previous 20+ years I went there after a group dinner. This time I was influenced & specifically took a bus over for their corn ice cream. It's STILL the summer of corn. Prices are now average - good for a scoop $7.50 & the portion is good compared to other craft ice cream shops in LES. The corn flavor was good. Medium flavor with that corn sweetness. The quality of the ice cream was excellent, medium creamy & very smooth with the teeniest bit of corn blended. Sampled the hazelnut which was great also - like a thick gelato. Would like to try the lychee next time. They have probably 20 different flavors, displayed well. The staff is patient & very nice. The space is very big for a business in the East Village with mostly a waiting area. 4-5 seats are up front & they set up a few plastic chairs on the side. On a 90°F day, the shop was filled with customers & groups. A stantion at the door with directions for 2 lines would help manage things better.

As with other NYC businesses, I'd plan to walk to visit rather than relying on almost non-existent parking. Two features of this fine establishment caught my eye - the first "Gelato" in the name and the second, a line out the door and into the sidewalk at 8:00 PM on a Wednesday night. I did a walkthrough first and was really impressed with the piles to delicious gelato. On second glance, the interior was full of beautiful details like scalloped tile work, textured "tin" ceiling an attractive paint and cabinetry (even the bathrooms are amazing!). I went back outside and got in line after looking over the available flavors. I selected a "medium" with two flavors - Pistachio and the White Chocolate, Coconut and Almonds. These were combined into about a 3-4 ounce cup and have to doubt about how delicious the flavor combinations were - simply divine. I sat outside in the only empty table (the downside, hot a humid and the gelato started melting immediately - make sure you get plenty of napkins). The views from here are pretty amazing, I'm not sure if I've noticed the Flatiron lighting previously - quite spectacular. Service was awesome with sample "tastes" if you're unsure and a really friendly young staff. I'll be coming back the next time I visit NYC.
