As is evident at any Tasti D-Lite, New Yorkers will happily line up for "ice cream" and its purportedly healthier simulacra. Manhattan's first satellite of West Hollywood's burgeoning frozen-yogurt chainlet, offers plain and green-tea flavors topped with everything from blackberries to Cap’n Crunch amid slick, modern décor—Philippe Starck chairs and all. — Robin Raisfeld & Rob Patronite

After hearing about Pinkberry from just about everybody on the planet, I decided to see for myself what it was all about. What a joke! I like fresh creamy yogurt, and was hoping for something like that. But this stuff was awful. It was like eating flavored ice -- it was stiff and sour and totally overpriced. The only thing I can say is its a small step above Rice to Riches which is painfully sweet and makes you feel sick afterwards. If you want something good and healthy, grab a sorbet at Ciao Bella
It's great, definitely out of the norm and certainly not what you think of when you hear "frozen yogurt." It's actually yogurt but frozen, as opposed to the fat-free/ low-fat ice cream that is ordinarily associated with the term. I really appreciated the toppings, which range from captain crunch to blueberries; I actually ordered an original yogurt with coconut and almonds. If you're looking for something unconventional yet irresistible you gotta do this. Sugar, shumgar; who's really eating 13 ounces of yogurt by themselves, don't be absurd (unless you love it that much, in which case I'm not judging). The decor is a whole lotta Los Angeles, but think of it as a mini vacation ;-D .
