I also like Van Leeuwen. They use excellent ingredients. I pick up a pint sometimes at Whole Foods. I like that they're local too. There are a few old school gelaterias down in the Village that may be worth trying though.

Have you tried Gelateria Gentile in Williamsburg? Best place I have found in NYC

The one in Europe are amazing. Strange it’s not replicated here

You can't replicate it here. It's like the water fountains in Italy. The water is AMAZING and dates back hundreds of years. You can't get anything like what I've had water wise in Rome and other cities in Europe.
