Pinkberry vs. Red Mango: a report from New York City

Pinkberry certainly has more coverage in NYC, and the decor is far more chic. I must say that their yogurt wasn't as good as I had remembered. It was downright creamy (one day it was actually more liquid than solid), sweeter, and with a distinct dairy aftertaste (just like Cincinnati's Yagoot).

Red Mango had "reverse lean six sigma" syndrome, because the cash register/yogurt assembly station was horribly inefficient. That, combined with decor-by-Target environs and a product even sweeter than Pinkberry's, leads me to bestow the honor of best NYC fro yo to Pinkberry. (This contest was highly unscientific - my methodology was inherently flawed, because I didn't try /eks/, flurt, or one of the many other Pinkberry knock-offs. And frankly my love for Pinkberry isn't as unbridled as it once was, so I'm hardly giving it a ringing endorsement.)

P.S. I'm sorry this is a picture-less post...I have nary a photo of our entire trip.
