Nepita

On our list of the best dessert spots in New York.

West Village gelato shop from Terence Mesana, a pastry chef who cooked in Michelin-starred kitchens within Daniel Boulud's restaurant group before scooping gelato out of a chest freezer he ferried between Brooklyn bars by Uber. The shop takes its name from nepita, a wild mint native to Corsica, where Mesana's family is from, and the flavors follow that thread: vanilla fig leaf, chocolate olive oil, Sicilian pistachio, and a coffee salted caramel canistrelli.
