The Gelato on a Stick Sweetness of a Popbar

Are you feeling the heat yet? I know I am, and that glorious humidity that often comes with it here in NYC. Wouldn’t be much fun if we couldn’t escape to the awesome parks, or the beaches…or if we didn’t have an almost endless supply of frozen treats around the city to cool us off.

I’m not talking about the questionable Mr. Frosty trucks my kids (unfortunately) gravitate to, I am talking about treats that are not only much better for you, but also better made.

One such delight is the Popbar, a gelato on a stick made of all-natural ingredients. Located on 5 Carmine St. and 6th Ave., this small shop is a colorful display of all sorts of gelatos on a stick flavors. These Kosher certified, gluten- and preservative-free icy treats come in flavors such as hazelnut, coffee, coconut, vanilla, or pistachio, just to name a few. You can have them dipped in chocolate, or nuts, or a variety of other coatings.

They also serve PopSorbettos and YogurtPops, and have been known to help cater a few kid’s birthday parties.

My absolute favorite is this awesome creation right here:

Coffee gelato bar dipped in chocolate and pistachio with nuts. YUM-MY.

So, if you’re in the West Village, and are looking for a cold treat that won’t slow you down, head on over to Popbar…just brace yourself, for the selection process can be long, but worth it.

I recently joined in on a Black History Month cele I recently joined in on a Black History Month celebration led by @_nykitchen (Canandaigua) and their very own examples of Black excellence: Sommelier Shomari Smoak (@winewithsmoak ), Chef Eli Tate, and Wine Writer Maiah Johnson Dunn (@thisismaiah).

Chef Eli’s crispiest of crisp fried chicken, saucy ribs, mac & cheese, crazy delicious collard greens, and cornbread was paired with five incredible Black-owned or made wines, all hand selected by Maiah and Shomari. 

For dessert, we had a special treat made by Rochester’s Pound Cakes by Pastor. 

We also got to learn about Black History in the Finger Lakes, including about Fedderman Wine Co., founded in 1972 by Raymond Fedderman in Prattsburgh, NY, recognized as one of the first Black-owned commercial wineries in the U.S.. and the FIRST in New York State!! He was known for his sweet wines like “Irene Red” and “Rosalind White”.

The Finger Lakes is rich in Black History, and luckily New York Kitchen often hosts events beyond just this one month to share the wealth that Black excellence has contributed to the region and beyond. Visit their website for more upcoming events!

Enjoyed an incredible meal at @albadawi.nyc, a Michelin Guide-featured Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn Heights with Tim Robbins and his partner dining in the table next to us. But as a true blue New Yorker, you keep your cool and take in the magic of life in this amazing city.

I am being called back into interpreter work to support those working with our immigrant community. What I can tell you about that landscape today is that it is overwhelmed. Pro-bono attorneys have massive waiting lists, forcing those in the immigration system - an already financially draining process - to seek support from expensive private attorneys. 

The work is emotionally intense but so damn important. If you want to help with donations some non-profit doing good work are: @americancivi, @lawnyinc, and @risse_albany. 

If you have other reputable, pro-bono resources for those seeking support through their immigration process and tribulations, please share in the comments!

Together we can help change someone’s life. ❤️

It’s ok to breathe. Process in silence. Seek comfort in yourself. Laugh. 

REST IS RESISTANCE. 

They want us scared. Broken. Isolated. Hopeless. Joyless. Exhausted. We are not. This moment is not how our story ends.
