The most recent Saint Marks opening took place on Halloween, when Very Berry, a new fro-yo spot, was unveiled. For a long time, this was the place with a sign reading: Coming Soon - Frozen Yorgurt/Ice Cream. We liked the looks of it better then.

But today we took advantage of the grand opening offer of a free sample to find that the stuff was quite similar to Pinkberry. Without a side by side taste test -- because who really cares -- we can only say that Very Berry seemed slightly less tangy and perhaps more dense than Pinkberry. Also, the toppings were decidedly down-market. Jelly beans, cocoa puffs. Go with it.
