One of the newest places located in the East Village is Snowdays Shavery, and it is definitely worth the trip! They serve delicious shaved cream, which is a popular Korean and Taiwanese dessert that is quickly taking over America. I am sure that many of you have tried shaved ice before, however shaved cream has a little twist. It has an icy texture like shaved ice, but it is also creamy like ice cream. It just melts away in your mouth. For weeks I had been seeing pictures from Snowdays, so one day as I was walking around downtown, I knew that I just had to stop and try some of this delicious snow cream. They have amazing options. First, you pick the base, which is the snow cream. They have Yeti Tracks, which is a combination of cookies and cream and blueberries, sweet cream, which is a condensed milk flavor, matcha green tea, and coconut. Then, you pick your toppings. There are so many to choose from, but a few are pocky sticks, mochi, nilla wafers, waffle cones, fruity pebbles and even crazy things like grass jelly. Lastly, you choose your drizzle. You can pick from a variety such as condensed milk, salted caramel, peanut butter, and whipped cream. I went with my family, and because it is impossible to decide what you want, we decided to share two flavors. We ordered a sweet milk shaved cream, with peanut butter drizzle, and Cap’n Crunch. Next, we ordered one of their recommended combos called Yeti Food. It consisted of yeti tracks snow cream, with bananas, waffle cones, and a blueberry puree. They pay close attention to detail, and even give you spoons that react to the cold, so as you are eating, the spoon changes color. It was one of the most delicious desserts that I have ever had, and I would definitely choose this over normal and boring ice cream any day. Be sure to get there early because the line gets long. My family arrived around noon on a weekend, and there were only a few people in line, but once we started to eat, the line was out the door. They spend time making each cup of snow cream, so the line does not move very fast, but it is definitely worth the wait!
