#InTheLoop | Bubble Tea Contest Froths Up In Long Island City


Strawberry with Cheese Foam is a fan favorite. So is Pomelo Oolong. At the same time, some prefer Black Sesame Mochi Milk, while others always order Passion Fruit Green.

Bubble tea is taking over in Queens, although many call it “Boba.”

Get in the game via the Lunar New Year Boba Crawl Giveaway, which runs from Monday, Feb. 12, at midnight to Monday, Feb. 26, at noon.
