Do one thing, and do it well. It’s good advice, but Il Laboratorio del Gelato, in Lower Manhattan, improves on it by doing two things well. They produce extremely high quality gelato and mouth watering sorbet for restaurants around the city. Recently, they’ve opened up a small cafe that serves individual cups of the cold, sweet stuff. Flavors run from the classic (strawberry) to the unusual (champagne) to the bizarre (earl grey). This is an ideal place to take a child who heretofore has only enjoyed the standard 31 flavors at more pedestrian ice cream shops.
