| - Looking for a great place for a first date that is fun, a little different, trendy enough, and is a great place to talk? I would recommend the G-Spot.
The G-Spot serves great, euro-style gelato in small, flavorful portions. I am fond of their fruity creations like the perfectly balanced Forest Berry blend, their Blood Orange, and the Kiwi. I have also enjoyed some of the non-fruity concoctions like the traditional stracciatella and even Snickers. I lean toward the fruit and berry flavors, though, because the sugary gelatos tend to be too rich.
The shop has a small indoor seating area, and a large outdoor patio that stays comfortable most of the year. It is right on 32nd street so there is some street noise, but it is a great place for conversation (and free, fast wifi).
The teeny-bopper service can be spotty at times, but it is a great place to go for something unique and special.
By the way: I know that Arlecchino, just down the street, is more authentic, and possibly even better in terms of quality, but I get an anxiety attack just thinking about parking on the corner that it shares with LGO, Postino, etc. I am willing to settle for slightly less authentic gelato in exchange for a much better overall experience at the G-Spot.
