the scoop on cones

Screme is the North American outpost of an Israeli gelato chain, Aldo. Their tiny shop that opened this summer in the Upper West Side hardly has enough room to turn around, but somehow they cram in some of the most exciting flavors in the city: Fig & Tequila, Dark Chocolate Whisky Truffle, and Biscotti Carmel with Cinnamon were some we saw.

They claim to have more than 5,000 flavors, and put out 10 new varieties every day. All the gelato is made fresh daily in a kitchen upstairs.

Not in the Upper West Side? They also have a Times Square location. And the company has an aggressive expansion plan to add 12 stores in their first year in New York.

Hours: 10 a.m.-1 a.m. daily

Price: $5 small cup

Special Diets: All are kosher, sorbets are nonfat and dairy free
