Where La Newyorkina appears on New York Dearest
It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.
Worth it
- Address61 Commerce St, Brooklyn, NY
- From my guide, updated September 2026.
La Newyorkina is a favorite with locals for refreshing paletas (fruity popsicles), a quintessential frozen treat from Mexico. The passion project of Fany Gerson, a Mexico-born New Yorker on a mission to bring the her beloved childhood treats to the Big Apple, who started selling treats at pop-ups in food stores.
She finally opened her own shop (located in Red Hook) but makes frequent appearances with a pushcart on the High Line. It’s hard to think of a more refreshing ice cream in New York City during hot summer days.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
