For the record, I'm not all that happy about most of the fro-yo places I've tried so far. I'm still waiting for a place that can make me crave it. Hi Soloman, I look forward to better flavors.

Maybe you'll like some of the other flavors we'll be bringing in rotation (36 flavors in our inventory). I can assure you we don't use any powder mix, which is more than I can say about most of the frozen yogurt shops in the city. One of our vendors is Frogurt which has been popularized by the Bloomingdale's crowd. Our yogurt comes in liquid form directly from the manufacturer which is why we can proudly call it yogurt (and its Kosher!).<br /><br />Erin- thanks for your support (say hi next time you're in)<br /><br />Can't make everyone happy but we're trying to offer something for everyone (sorbet for the lactose, no sugar for the diabetic, nonfat for the dieter.)

Erin- thanks for your support (say hi next time you’re in)

Can’t make everyone happy but we’re trying to offer something for everyone (sorbet for the lactose, no sugar for the diabetic, nonfat for the dieter.)

I had a mix of the plain tart, strawberry tart, cookies & cream and added crushed oreos and strawberries. Im going to have to disagree that its better. Although it was a little cheaper the quality of the yogurt doesn't compare (bit on the icy side). Im sticking with 16 Handles for now.

Hi Erin,

It is farther from you but I think Yogurtland
is better than 16 Handles, and only 39 cents per ounce.

Sat night was kind of a zoo but I still managed to get out sooner than I thought (Ive waited longer with less people in front of me at Pinkberry). <br /><br />They charge by weight- 46 cents per ounce. This annoyed me at first because I am clueless as to how much an ounce weighs. However, after placing my decent sized cup filled with a familiar tasting Eurotart flavor and Pistachio yogurt topped with strawberries, blueberries, mochi, and some crushed oreos (my weakness), I was delightfully surprised to hear the cashier tell me $4.33 cents!<br />It was the same feeling as buying a cute pair of shoes Ive been dying to get and having the salesperson tell me that they're on sale. <br /><br />Thank you 16 Handles, you've given me a reason to walk past St Marks for my frozen yogurt fix.

The definition definitely helps. I think frozen yogurts are sold as a variety of gelatos here then. Now let me go out and eat them all :) Hey Stephen, thanks a lot for the list.

I first had a frozen yogurt (strawberry yogurt ice cream) at the Chatu Chak Weekend Market at Bangkok 2-3 yrs back (ur ref on the Asian origins makes sense then). I just loved it. The Gelato craze started a bit later in India. Gelato parlours here have some yogurt based flavours. I wonder whether those would qualify as frozen yogurts then Thanks for clarifying.

The new fad of frozen yogurts comes from Asia, focuses on low or no fat frozen yogurts, that is meant to taste tart like yogurt. Gelato, originating in Italy, focuses on creaminess, and is way way better in my eyes, but definitely has more fat. I actually had a yogurt flavored gelato in Venice which was amazing!!<br /><br />Ellen, I still haven't made it over to 40 Carrots, thanks for the reminder!
