La Newyorkina had their PopUp stand again this Spring. It was record high in the 90's today. My Paleta melted fast! The service is great and they had delicious flavors to choose from. I got one for my daughter too. Mine was made with rice and my daughter's was mango. I'm definitely recommending. read more

Start with the good- delivered on time. The rest is not so good. I am new to ordering from Goldbelly, so I am not sure who's to blame for a package of crumbs and confetti! The chocolate covered matzos I ordered looked like they were in the old commercial for American Tourista luggage where the suitcases are thrown around by a bunch of monkeys! $60 for an item that I would never be able to bring to anyone's home, if it wasn't my daughter. I called Goldbelly to inform them of the situation and they said that even though they were crushed they were still edible. I called and then texted La Newyorkina and 3 days later have not received a reply. Goldbelly and Newyorkina will never get another dime from me again! read more

Was sent 6 Chocolate Babka Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches as a gift. I don't know if it was an intentional surprise or they were out of boxes but they arrived in a Paletas Box (see photos). The handwriting cleared up the confusion. First impressions: Fun, unexpected treat. This is good homemade babka with chocolate and cinnamon. Light and flaky. The ice cream isn't too sweet but not as vanilla-y as I prefer. Thought I'd eat half a sandwich but ate it all gone. Speaking of which, the sandwiches are about 6 ounces each (3" by 4") and wide enough that it's a big bite. Even after the first one, I cut them in half to make it easier to eat. The shipping instructions said to freeze for up to 3 weeks but mine stayed in the freezer for 4 or 5 weeks. Ice cream usually doesn't last very long in my house so that shows this was ok but not a huge temptation. Glad I tried it and supported a small business but not anxious for a repeat. read more

Walking the High Line? Make a paleta from this magic-maker part of your experience. I'd seen this company on friends' Instagram, but had yet to discover it myself. Because they were unpacking, we couldn't get a paleta at the small stand at the start of the northern part of the walk, but we found the second one in the covered section just north of the end stop at the Whitney Museum. And the timing was perfect. We needed the refreshing, bursting flavors. These ice pops are a must-have in NYC. read more

La Newyorkina - Paleta: pineapple mint on the left and strawberry, coconut, and pineapple/mint, right. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

3.5 stars Had this in Isla Mujeres in Mexico for $1-2 each so when my friend brought me here in Brooklyn, I was excited, but skeptical, cause you know how NYC jacks up the price for everything. We arrived after closing so they were nice enough to reopen so we can try. There was a decent number of choices. We got the horchata and passion fruit flavor. What killed me was the price. $5 for horchata and $6 for passion fruit. I'm not a big fan of the cinnamon taste of the horchata but the texture of the milky popsicle was good. For the passion fruit, the flavor was good, but there are no bits of passion fruit or the seeds in it and each bite had icicles forming. It's a small hole in the wall. Cute place though. Would order this for a special occasion's special occasion. It is too pricey for me read more

La Newyorkina - a hand holding a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - New York, New York

La Newyorkina serves so many of my food needs! We order entire meals from them for the holidays, treat everyone to their amazing donuts on a regular basis, and have a nightly addiction to the Mexican chocolate and horchata mini-pops. The staff at all sites are friendly and helpful, and the food is outstanding. read more

I like an elevated food concept as much as the next girl. In fact, I could've probably lived pretty happily without doughnuts whatsoever until Dough came along, with its impossibly fluffy, pillowy creations, glazed with natural ingredients that taste exactly like what they're supposed to be. And okay, I'll begrudgingly confess that when I'm not in the mood for um, the dubiously sourced meat products that tend to dominate Chinatown Banh Mi, I don't mind paying a few bucks extra for a gringo-ized version containing supposedly 'clean' ingredients. So with all of that said, sure I was open to trying a $5 Milk-Based Coffee & Chocolate Chip Paleta from this place: Well, all I can say is that if you are a true java lover, I just can't imagine liking this. I love the robust, bold flavor of coffee and this was more sweet than anything else. Plus it had an icy, grainy texture, which really tipped it over into this is so not worth the $$$ territory for me. Recently, I rediscovered Paleteria Fernandez up in Port Chester. While I think they strive to avoid artificial additives, am not sure this is consistent with every single pop flavor they produce, as with here. But man, their Milk-Based Coffee Paleta is Haagen Dazs worthy creamy and the java flavor shines through. And ultimately, isn't that what it's all about? Plus the Paletas at Fernandez are half the price, albeit far less convenient. But I digress. Back to this spot, it's tiny and located on a very desolate stretch in Red Hook, which may explain the lack of Yelp reviews. And I recall trying to stop in last summer and it wasn't open during its posted hours. So not sure what was up with that. But anyway, I can now check this off my mental list of places to try, though I doubt I'll be back. ps I noticed in the freezer that they also offer mini Paletas in more limited flavors in case you don't want to go all-in for a regular sized one. I believe they are $2. read more

4 hot and thirsty Yelpers was at the Hester Street Fair for the first time awaiting a fifth member to show up for a Chinatown dumpling (and miscellaneous whatever catches our fancy ) food crawl. The sun was shining brightly through the clouds directly onto our heads when I heard this. La Newyorkina $4 popsicle: Psst. Hey. Hey. You people look like you could cool off a bit. Eat me. Me: Err. No thanks. We have a dumpling crawl coming up. La Newyorkina $4 popsicle: But kiddo. Ours is no ordinary popsicles. It's homemade paletas. Mexican styled popsicles made from fresh fruit. EAT ME!!!! Me: Wow. Sounds interesting. Wish I could but we expect to eat lots of food. No room to spare. La Newyorkina $1baby popsicle: Eat us instead. We sacrifice ourselves for Papa. We are much smaller but like papa like son. I am baby Guava and this is baby avocado. Me: Ohh... baby avacado is so cute. Chomp. Lick. Chew. Pretty good. A little bit too icy with frozen ice crystals but pretty tasty. Just slightly sweetened enough to give it extra flavor but not too sweet to the point where it overpowers the natural fruit ingredients . The popsicles in People's Pops is tastier, smoother, and have chunks of fruits within but still not bad. La Newyorkina $4 popsicle: Noooooooooo *sobs and melts from it's tears* ******************************************* I swear this happened and it wasn't the sun getting to me. read more

On this pretty and sunny Saturday with a light breeze took me to this neighborhood to explore and to eat some more. Went to the Hester Street Fair and walked around and saw this place, which had the cutest little popsicles ever. Because of it's miniature size, it's also good for children. I thought they would have more flavors, but they only had guava and avocado. The guy at the vendor said guava is light and avocado is creamier. I've never had avocado popsicle before, so that's what I got. It was creamy, but it was icy at the same time - pretty refreshing on a warm day. But according to their website, I think flavors vary weekly? Because I would love to try their spicy mango flavor and also the other flavors. For the mini it was $1 and for regular size it was $4. I thought they would have a shop somewhere, but after reading on their website I believe they don't have one, but they are at the Hester Street Fair every Saturday and Sunday from 10AM to 6PM. read more

Saw a guy walking with a paleta in the frozen dessert wasteland that is Red Hook (Steve's excluded) and had to track down the source**. The selection at this B&M location is wider than their other presences -- including pints (BOGO on our visit) and an ice cream case -- and they take cards and offer a loyalty card**, but the 4-star rating is due to that dilution in the form of the pretty mediocre ice cream (albeit in creative, promising flavors like those we tried: tres leches, mole, cajeta, mango passion, mango chamoyada, mexican chocolate, and a couple others ...3 scoops in a cup with a cone on top -- because the friendly staffer didn't trust them to hold the triple -- for $7 x 2). *Added this listing 14+ months after they opened http://www.grubstreet.com/2014/06/la-newyorkina-red-hook-paletas.html, which explains how I somehow didn't have it bookmarked. **their paletas are always a 5-star experience, and it's a shame they can't retro-stamp to reward past loyalty read more

So many vegan options but you must try the Nieves Garafa (mango is my fave) it's hand-spun ice cream! The best thing I have tasted

I've walked by this little cart a million times and I finally had the appetite to give one a try. I was going to get the small one, but it was just too tiny for my big appetite, so $4 later, i had a passion fruit popsicle in my hand. Yes, it was good. Very flavorful and definitely delicious on a hot summer day, but I wasn't blown away. Could be because I'm more of an ice cream kind of gal and not so much an icy treat. Is it worth trying? Yes! Would I get it again? Maybe just the small sized one... read more

If you don't like popsicles that's really something you should take up with your therapist. A summer staple since the beginning of time, even the most commercial of popsicles are good. But now there are these paletas, made with real fruit and real fruit puree in an assortment of tropical flavors from coconut to avocado to guava to pineapple mint. The staff serving these iced treats are super-friendly and you can tell right away that La Newyorkina is a passion. To be smart in the ice cream and/or ice game you have to cater to all of your clientele and La Newyorkina does just that by having mini-popsicles for $1 (the real deal is $4). This shows a true desire to make people happy because instead of watching children take two bites and attach the rest of the popsicle to their shirt, now there is a size that fits them or those who just want a small, cold treat. I had the Coco Fresco (fresh coconut) and it was full of real coconut feel and flavor. These are the type of popsicles you need to bite because they are full of real pieces of fruit. However, I learned by the end the ideal way to eat one of these luscious treats - trust me on this one - wait two to three minutes to start eating it. If you give it that time to melt a little, you will have to do less work and you will enjoy the juice more. Absolutely no excuse for not getting one of these if you go to the Hester Street Fair. If you don't and it is the middle of summer, seriously, call your therapist from the nearby handball courts and have a session. read more

On a beautiful Saturday summer afternoon, I headed out to enjoy the perfect California-like weather disregarding the work that needed to be done because I didn't want to waste one of the few precious gorgeous days that we have on the East Coast inside. I decided the warm weather made for a perfect reason to do a popsicle crawl. I love Mexican popsicles (aka paletas) because the lovely fruity goodness inside the cool icy prison transports a lowly popsicle to new heights. It was with some eager anticipation that I went to La Newyorkina at the Hester Street Fair. The first popsicle I had was the hibiscus, which is one of my favorite flavors. There was a good intense tart hibiscus flavor, but I didn't care for the rather large ice crystals in the popsicle. It made the popsicle taste like something I would make in my own freezer. The second popsicle I had was the coconut (another favorite). I wanted to compare this coconut with El Sabor's (see my review for Tortilleria Nixtamal). Unlike El Sabor's where the paleta was a rich intense creamy coconuty experience, La Newyorkina didn't have the same intense flavor. It was more on the lackluster side. El Sabor's appeared to be made with coconut cream, while La Newyorkina's was much thinner (coconut water?). There were also a few rather large shavings of coconut in the paleta, which were difficult to eat and didn't add anything to the paleta. I definitely think the hibiscus was the better popsicle. On a hot day, a popsicle is always a welcome treat. read more

Icy Paleeetas. Icy Paleeetas ('La Cucaracha' theme) It was one, damn, hot Sunday. Hallelujah! My companion and I just had a cheap lunch in Chinatown and decided to walk to the Hester Street Fair to check out the stalls and the food scenes. Since it's the Memorial Day weekend, it wasn't as crowded as the first week (you know the first day is always the busiest, so I always avoid going first. That must tell you something about my personality...) so I didn't have to elbow anyone to browse around. The front of the entrance we see the pretzel and popscle vendors. In this weather, the last thing I crave is a salty snack that only makes me want to drink a gallon of ice water, so seeing La Newyorkina was like a eureka moment. After a circle around the market, we stopped at the inconspicuous icebox, wonderful what kind of goodies were hiding inside. Apparently, lots of flavors were available (check their website for a list), but for the mini bars, only hibiscus was available. I saw the size of the baby pops. Oh, they were so sad looking. Three licks and they would be gone. Although $4 is quite expensive for a block of ice on a stick, the guava intrigued us, so that's what we got. * Licking the popsicle brought back a lot of childhood memories. Oh, the Good Humor days...but this was different. It's a fancy-schmancy popsicle. A grown-up version. *giggle*giggle* It was a nice treat, but had to comment that it was a bit too sweet after the initial bite, but that didn't us from letting it melt. So long story short, we finished it before we arrived at the subway station. A nice memory lane... *We heard great things about the avocado paletas, but having just had lunch, we couldn't stomach such fatty goodness at that moment. FYI, I also learned that half an avocado goes into each pop) read more

I tried a mango chili popsicle ($4) at Googamooga last Saturday, and it was perfect! Picante, dulce, y deliciosa! I wish La Newyorkina stocked at supermarkets 'cause I'd love to eat a paleta everyday. I'll have to trek it to the Hester St. Fair soon for some more pops. read more
