Red Mango Marches Into Court Street Yogurt Wars
Are frozen yogurt shops the new banks? On Court Street, it’s looking that way more and more every day. We reported in July that Korean-style froyo maker Yofiore had agreed to pay big bucks for a spot at 32 Court Street and construction at the new Yogo Monster at 115 Court Street is almost done….
Are frozen yogurt shops the new banks? On Court Street, it’s looking that way more and more every day. We reported in July that Korean-style froyo maker Yofiore had agreed to pay big bucks for a spot at 32 Court Street and construction at the new Yogo Monster at 115 Court Street is almost done. To top it off, last night we got word from a tipster that Red Mango, a Sherman Oaks, CA.-based yogurt company that claims responsibility for launching the yogurt trend, is slated to open in the small storefront at 125 Court Street. (Not to be outdone, Fort Greene is getting a place called Silver Spoon Yogurt and Park Slope already has a few of its own.) How much frozen yogurt can Brooklynites consume? What happens to these places in the chill of February?
Biff…And I sure hope you don’t get your tarts mixed up either. I did that once or twice with dire consequences.
Dave, good one! At least I didn’t pull out the old “I can tell reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit” line. I don’t mind the race baiting, the snarky banter, the taunts that my home will be worth the cost of a Red Hook taco, the yo momma is so fat jokes, etc. But dammit, don’t you EVER accuse me of getting my sweets mixed up!
Traditionalmod unfortunately it seems that your first experience was the inferior froyo, I think Red Mango and even Oko should change that, not as tart and more creamy.
Yes Biff. I got particularly upset when you used my old line of “please read again.” We all tend to get so worked up over threads of this sort… the race baiting, snarky inter and intra borough comments, poor shape of the economy and house prices going down 50-75% in 85 days!!!
Wow, sorry Dave, that sounded way angrier than I intended. You know how worked up I get over my confections!
Um Dave, please read again. I never said that was Italian Ice – I knew it wasn’t. jwald’s response was an expansion of my comment, not a correction. And yes, I’m fairly familiar with the Italian culture and cuisine.
I keep saying the same thing about mobile phone stores, but they keep on coming.
I like the tang of frozen yogurt. But most of the health benefits of yogurt (i.e. the live yogurt cultures) must be negated by the freezing, which would kill the cultures, no?
Heather…if you call it Water Ice again I’m going to have to come over there and smack you upside the head. It really irks me to hear that when I’m down in PA…not just Philly, the whole stae calls it that…because all they have is Rita’s anyway.
Flavored popcorn…YUM.
Anybody remember the popcorn store on 8th Street (btwn 5th & 6th aves) in the Village? Those were the days.
