PrintIl Laboratorio del Gelato Window Makes For Easier Summertime Access
Editor's note: Every afternoon we like to post a short Sugar Rush to end your day. Think of it as the dessert to your daily blog reading. —Zach
Il Laboratorio del Gelato's recently reconfigured shop makes it all the more easy to simply pop up to the open street window and order two, three, or even four scoops. Flavors are still evenly divided between gelato in the left-hand case and sorbets in the right, all starting at $3.25 for a small.
We were tempted by the lemon and basil sorbet, along with a tart black plum number. But gelato never fails to win our favor in the end; we've yet to taste a flavor that disappoints. We enjoyed a cup of buttery smooth and mild green tea with vanilla bean, as well as a separate cone with a particularly delightful amaretto crunch piled over nut-speckled pistachio. Could there be a sweeter way to cool off?

what are the hours?
Everytime I go past -- admittedly seems to be after 8p -- they're closed.

I just called the shop and got a message saying that they're open 7 days a week, closing at 7pm (they didn't give an opening hour).

Not sure that the newly reconfigured store is any better. Now the line just spills out onto the narrow sidewalk. And you still can't see the available flavors until you get to the front.
