Azteca Passionfruit Ice
Outside the Bronx Zoo
Desserts category pick for the week of 7/14/08
After a long day of zoo, nothing looked better than the ices people were enjoying on the streets. We found a vendor right outside the park who offered coco (coconut), cherry, mango, and passionfruit.
For a dollar, I got a pretty big helping of passionfruit and I have to say I was blown away by how good it tasted. No syrupy phoniness here, only absolute refreshment that genuinely tasted like fruit. And, did I mention? A dollar! A dollar! In a world with a small scoop of gelato costs nearly five, it was one of the best deals in the five boroughs.
One of the best perfect summer moments of 2008 so far.
