Little Island's Glade gets a yogurt counter for the weekend: strained yogurt made in house with live cultures and Hudson Valley Fresh milk, fresh and frozen, with artisanal toppings. It is a snack stop rather than a show, and it sits directly alongside The Sporkful's live episode about Bulgarian versus Greek yogurt, which is either a coincidence or excellent programming. If you are already on the pier, it is the thing to eat there.
What to expect
A vendor counter on the Glade lawn rather than a sit-down operation - order, take a cup and find a spot on the grass with the Hudson in front of you. Both fresh and frozen yogurt are made in house, with a toppings bar. Expect a line during the Glade's scheduled performances.

Common questions
Is this a performance?
No - Culture is a food vendor at Little Island's Glade, not a show. The Glade also hosts scheduled free programming during the same hours, which is what draws the crowd.
What do they serve?
Strained yogurt made in house from live probiotic cultures, in both fresh and frozen forms, with artisanal toppings. The milk comes from Hudson Valley Fresh and Organic Valley.
Do I need to pay to get into the park?
No. Admission to Little Island is free. You only pay for food and for the ticketed shows in the amphitheater.
