You’ve lovingly pictured it all day. You low-key stalked their Instagram. You’ve smiled soulfully at photos of them on your phone. You obsess about their subtle sweetness and the tenderness of their presence. Wait…We’re talking about gelato in NYC, right?
To be honest – we’re hooked on love, no matter the source of affection. Some might say that Bambina Blue is a romantic through and through. This heavenly NYC gelato spot bears witness to love in its most blissful, versatile states. That might look like a family who’s joyfully playing with a silky selection of 32 flavors on a Sunday, or the enthralling conclusion of a successful Valentine’s Day date at a Gelataria.
And so, in dedication to romance’s impending arrival (soon), let’s pause here for a second, the same way romance roams in Lower Manhattan at Bambina Blue. Oh, and, which sultry taste it might be reminiscent of.
Caution: hearts might melt (but not the gelato though; you’ve probably already finished the first serving, and honestly, who blames you).
Butterflies have taken flight. What was once a normal heart rhythm, now goes full throttle into the soft, delicate arms of their embrace. Have all these colors always existed with such heightened potential? How is the spectrum of emotion gone this undiscovered until now?
Suddenly, every exchange is the stuff of poetry. It’s a dance of anticipation and discovery, an intricate balance (much like that of a divine sorbet) between excitement and reason. Watching love bloom is a blissful treat at this classic Gelataria – just another perk of stepping in and out of Bambina Blue every day, serving New Yorkers enchanting goodness one lick at a time.
Do you taste it? The soft and fresh feelings that develop during a stroll in the park, each of you with a Lemon Crumble in hand. A beginning that starts light and fluffy will surely awaken love’s palette.
A moment suspended in time. In every romantic relationship, the hopeful suspense of this moment is a right of passage. Mutual infatuation is making you giddy. As your lips lock, it reminds you of the first time you had gelato – almost like you can’t remember your life before it.
Sounding OTT? Well, that’s just what love does to humans. Suddenly, newness is in abundance. The first kiss finds you suddenly wanting to stick to one flavor indefinitely; a match made. Yet, there’s this other side of it, too. Your fave couple probably won’t deny the delightful advantages either – sharing. It’s options, options, options baby!
You’re feeling nutty with a hint of coffee, while your partner’s craving the full (creamy) monty! So, you’re kinda digging the tempting look of the Hazelnut Crunch, and the Miso Brownie gelato with an extra topping of Salted Pretzel is speaking to them. Lucky you, you each get to indulge in both!
Do you? Yes, you do. The Sunny to their Cher. The Clyde to their Bonnie. The cream in their coffee. The last bite of the croissant. A lifetime filled to the brim with different flavors.
One of your week’s highlights is sitting on the porch – or sometimes even just with two spoons at the kitchen table – eating Bambina Blue out of the tub. Life is simple. You know what you like, not that you’re shy when it comes to trying new things.
So, what does that taste like? No one has ever been led astray by the universally loved, signature notes of vanilla; especially when it’s this creamy. You don’t even have to ask for the Bambina Blue Vanilla Stracciatella gelato because you know each other so well. But it also knows that you often opt for the vegan Tulums Coconut flavor or the occasional Strawberry Cream gelato.
The thing is, you’re aware that an effortless online order and delivery at Bambina Blue is possible, but it’s also the pure elation of a visit to this gelato shop that (obviously) includes a premio Affagato at the Nolita Coffee Shop and a Banana Nuts Milkshake for you two when you pick up your usual.
A sweet fix does any love story plenty of good; of course, in mere humble service of humankind’s ability to surrender to love (and good flavor). Even better when that flavor is fresh and made in-house!
Love is patient. Love is kind. So is this NYC gelato shop – aaaaw! If you could choose oh but one gelato flavor that captures the essence of love at first lick? Tell us on Instagram using #BambinaBlueGelato or by tagging @bambinabluegelato
