La Newyorkina: La Tiendita

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

Fany Gerson's Red Hook shop for La Newyorkina, the Mexican ice pop and ice cream line she started as a street-fair cart in 2010 after a trip home to Mexico. Paletas here come in flavors like roasted corn, queso fresco y fresas, pineapple chile and horchata, alongside coconut and Oaxacan chocolate ice cream, sold from a small, colorfully painted storefront near the water.
