When I traveled to L.A. with A.A. I got my first taste of Pinkberry, and I’ve been craving it ever since. I had been banking on my next visit to NYC to give me my next Pinkberry, but a few days ago I was alerted that a knockoff popped up on Thayer Street. I had to see if it had the same crack-like qualities as P-Berry.
The store had a nice minimalist feel to it & the topping choices were similar, though Captain Crunch was replaced by Fruity Pebbles and a cooler full of fun Japanese drinks will surely attract Asian Culture Fetishists.
I decided on Original with Pineapple with Chocolate Chips topping and I got something that was more Frozen Yogurty than Pinkberry, but still sour enough to be interestingly odd and palate pleasing. I will be going back, that is until Pinkberry issues them a cease and desist.
P.S. I will still be going to the real deal when I am within 50 miles of one, so maybe they should just leave our PVD version alone.
Mmmm. Looks good. Will have to try some.
Oh my good God! A Pinkberry wannabe?! I must go! YAY! I was just ON Thayer. How did I not see it?!
Yes Aaron, And I’ve been there 3 times now..they have these weird little rice balls that i recommend.
