New York Street Food

Nick, would it kill you to smile? (credit: NYSF)

Yesterday was the debut of Pägσ, the new Greek frozen yogurt, sorbet and gelato cart.  For now it’s parked right next to the Uncle Gussy’s truck on the SE corner of 51st & Park, but Nick says it may leave the nest at some point and hit other neighborhoods.

There’s room for 4 different flavors in the cart, and they will be rotating flavors and adding toppings as things progress.  Yesterday was only their first day.  BTW, Pägσ means “ice” in Greek.

Nick gave us a taste of the Greek frozen yogurt, which was creamy and refreshing.  It was good, but will be even better with some fruit on top.

Then I ordered a cup of dark chocolate gelato for $4.50 to get more than a taste.  In a word – delicious!

Dark chocolate is my favorite type of chocolate because it’s not too sweet, and has a slight edge of bitterness.  Pägσ’s gelato was a cold and creamy version of dark chocolate – not too sweet, but with a slight edge.  I wouldn’t call it bitter chocolate, but it had more depth than milk chocolate.

Next time, I think I’ll try the lemon mint sorbet.  That sounds perfect for the dog days of summer!

Uncle Gussy’s, one of the most popular and authentic Greek street vendors in NYC, is launching a new cart today called Pägσ, with Greek frozen yogurt and gelato served from a self-sustainable cart (whatever that is).

Nick told us the Greek frozen yogurt will be a constant, but the gelato will be rotated and include flavors such as dark Athenian chocolate, frappe (coffee flavor), coconut, and a lemon mint sorbet.

As they progress, they will start to add toppings as well.  BTW, pago means “ice” in Greek.

The cart will be located by their deep blue truck on the corner of 51st St & Park Ave, where their Uncle Gussy launched his first food cart back in 1971!

Follow Pago on twitter here or our Mobile Munchies twitter feed.  Good luck guys. We’ll stop by to try it very soon.
