Honestly, this is one of the most heavily instagram-ed desserts EVERY (oh follow me at @prettylittlemi YAY) Anyways, as a classic New Yorker, this has become one of my favorite places to come with friends since its gelato on a stick meaning that it's "healthier"? Well, it's what I think to comfort myself. There are so many different flavors AND you can personalize that everyone cand find their perfect flavor here. Basically, most of the popbars sold are single flavored that allow you to go and add different flavorings and extras on top. Some have already been customized so you can simply go and buy if you're short on time. I would definitely recommend the green tea popbar with dark chocolate and broken cashews. ITS DIVINE!
OOHHH LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT TYPES!!!! All the different flavors are so amazing where you can customize everything... Everything is divine especially with chocolate drizzled on it!
Here is the customization station. Each popbar is around $5 each which is kinda expensive for gelato on a stick, but definitely worth it because it's actually so good and especially made for you! I love it so much~ *spasm* You can add as much as you can for the same price, but I would definitely give the advice that more is less in this case, as sometimes too many flavors and toppings can take away from the original taste of the gelato.
Concerning the lines, around noon the lines are really long since many tourists come around lunch along with students from the surrounding colleges (NYU students love popbar btw)... So, I would definitely recommend going exactly at noon (12) (or late at night since it closes around 12 am) since Popbar only opens at 12! Since it's along 6th avenue, I would definitely recommend going shopping along 5th Ave and going to Popbar just to cool off!

YAY for instagram pics... Poplars are great to share with friends and take everywhere. Oh, as a side note, gelato melts slower than ice cream for some weird reason so don't really worry about it melting as quickly (? tbh I'm not even sure why I made that comment but FUN FACT!)... ILYSM POPBAR you helped me survive summer~
