According to EV Grieve, Red Mango is moving into the old CBGB store, which makes St. Marks Place a fro-yo corridor of sorts (there’s a Pinkberry and a Very Berry across the street). Why do all these yogurt joints open across the street from each other? You don’t see a Kennedy Fried Chicken locking horns with a Kentucky Fried Chicken, after all. Below, our tally of fro-yo shops that share a block.
Bleecker St., nr. Sullivan St.
Pinkberry and Red Mango, 82 feet apart
St. Marks Pl., nr. Second Ave.
Pinkberry, Red Mango, and Very Berry, within 157 feet
Roosevelt Ave., nr. Main St., Flushing
Pinkberry and Red Mango, 85 feet apart
32nd St., nr. Fifth Ave.
Pinkberry and (coming soon) Red Mango, .1 miles apart
Second Ave., nr. 10th St.
16 Handles and Tasti D-Lite, 36 feet apart
Ninth Ave., nr. 43rd St.
Pinkberry and Yolato Express, 184 feet apart
Second Ave., nr. 82nd St.
Pinkberry and Tasti D-Lite, 141 feet apart
And it’s not all the same block, but there’s also Third Avenue between 53rd Street and 23rd Street — fro-yo corridor!
Red Mango – 507 Third Ave.
Berrywild – 427 Third Ave.
Flurt – 284 Third Ave.
Pinkberry – 350 Third Ave.
Yorganic – 805 Third Ave.
