Timi's Gelateria Classica Italiana (CLOSED)

This Italian gelato chain makes its stateside debut in a two-story East Village space. The cold stuff comes in flavors like vanilla, lemon and chocolate-laced stracciatella—enjoy yours plain or in one of the shop’s special sundaes, like the Orange Cup (vanilla and lemon gelati topped with whipped cream). More substantial fare consists of panini and a selection of imported mozzarellas; grab a seat in the casual downstairs dining room or in the second-floor “Wi-Fi lounge,” where laptoppers are invited to linger.
