Ice cream sandwiches aren't the only cool treat in town. Some of our new favorite treats in New York are popsicles, which are popping up (no pun intended) all over the city. They're refreshing, flavorful, and wonderfully portable - You won't have ice cream sandwich melting all over your hands!
Cool down at these hot spots for the best popsicles in New York.
People's Pops
One of the first vendors on the artisanal popsicle train, People's Pops started four years ago to transform the foodcolored pops of our childhood into something seasonal, local, and delicious. The results have the same shape as a traditional popsicle, with a similar water-fruit content, but are brilliantly colored and full of unusual combinations like blueberry rosewater and rhubarb hibiscus.

Popbar
What if you want the creaminess of ice cream with the refreshing kick of a popsicle? Then come to Popbar, where they mold their signature gelatos, sorbettos, and yogurts into pop form. The textures are creamy and smooth, and the flavors range from an intense coffee to a zesty lemon. Plus, to further mimic your favorite ice cream cone, you can get your pop dipped in chocolate and covered in nuts or other toppings.

Nana's
One of the best popsicles in New York isn't technically a popsicle at all, but it hits all the same notes and leaves you wanting more. Nana's frozen bananas are a thing of beauty. Perfectly creamy but with a refreshing icy zing, they're dipped while you wait in luscious chocolate and presented with a sprinkling of toppings like sea salt. Remember: It's all in the banana stand.

La Newyorkina
Paletas are Mexico's answer to the popsicle, and celebrates owner Fany Gerson's Mexican heritage with bright flavors like tamarind and mango-chile. The best part: They include whole pieces of fruit, so you can nibble on a slice of mango or a shard of coconut while you enjoy your otherwise icy and cool treat.

Lily Lolly's Ice Kitchen
The buzz is already building about this popsicle spot - and it doesn't even have a location yet! Lily Lolly's has tested out several spaces for an upcoming cart, but for now you can only order through their website for special events. But you'll be glad you did: They use top-of-the-line ingredients in a variety of flavors (Our favorites are maple syrup and marionberry). They're also happy to develop new flavors for special events, so if you've ever dreamed of a white chocolate guava pop, now's your chance!
