Delilah Brainin \u2191
Student, East Village<\/p>\n
How long was the line?
Twenty minutes. I\u2019m not a very patient person, and I don\u2019t have the time to wait on the line usually. But today it\u2019s 90 degrees and I really want some frozen yogurt.<\/p>\n
What are you studying?
Film. I mostly write and edit. I like to just spend time outside and do a lot of people-watching and eavesdropping. If I hear something good, I\u2019ll write it down, and sometimes that\u2019ll find its way into a script.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s something that made it into a script?
Before I transferred to NYU last year, I spent my first year at Smith College. It\u2019s historically a women\u2019s college and was just an insane experience. So I wrote a script about a girl who goes to a women\u2019s college and ends up getting sucked into a hedonistic cult. I pulled a lot of that from my experience there because it was just like, You can\u2019t make this shit up.<\/p>\n

How many samples is too many?<\/p>\n
If the line\u2019s very long, I definitely wouldn\u2019t sample more than three.<\/p>\n

Student, Downtown Brooklyn<\/p>\n
Sherry Chen<\/p>\n
Business-operations associate, Prospect Heights<\/p>\n
You said you don\u2019t mind the line. How come?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s kind of weirdly enjoyable. It\u2019s this transient space that you have. It\u2019s like sitting in the subway when you don\u2019t want to be productive.<\/p>\n
Lisa Fa\ufeffzlija<\/p>\n
Architecture student, Glen Ridge, New Jersey<\/p>\n
Caroline Yager<\/p>\n
Workplace manager, Greenpoint<\/p>\n
Are there other lines you\u2019ll wait on?<\/p>\n
I live in Greenpoint, and Radio Bakery is there. I wait on that line frequently. The pastries and sandwiches are too damn good.<\/p>\n
Payton Wise<\/p>\n
Social-media intern, Upper West Side<\/p>\n
Evan McAvenia<\/p>\n
Graduate student, Los Angeles, California<\/p>\n
Rachel Dumis<\/p>\n
Student, Gramercy Park\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a native New Yorker, what do you think about these long lines?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not a fan. I\u2019ve seen it happen to a few of my favorite spots, like the ice-cream place Caff\u00e8 Panna by my house. It now has a 30-minute line every time I try to go.<\/p>\n

Do you come to this yogurt spot often?<\/p>\n
Yeah, my friends and I come here at least a couple times a month. Now there\u2019s fro-yo everywhere, but this was the OG spot.<\/p>\n
