Skip the line at Pinkberry and indulge in chilly faux-cream goodness at self-serve haven Yogurt Land (267 Bleecker St between Cornelia and Jones Sts; 212-206-1824, yogurt-land.com). Impress your date by twisting any of the 28 flavors of frozen yogurt into a Dairy Queen–worthy swirl. At 39¢ an ounce, you can afford to pile on an obnoxious amount of toppings (there are 35 on offer). Then, defrost your brains by watching the Manhattan Theatre Source’s production of All the Rage (177 MacDougal St between Waverly Pl and W 8th St; 212-501-475, theatresource.org), a darkly comic work that centers on gun violence, playing through August 23 (tickets are $36 for a pair). Compared with the disturbing characters, you’ll look socially conscious—and surprisingly safe.
