Do you have a favorite Ice Cream parlor?
 

Looks good QS! Was just telling hubby that I have a hankerin' for ice cream, haven't been buying any, trying to lose some weight..but I miss it. :fat: Don't know if there's any ice cream parlors around, haven't been to one since I was a kid.
 
When we go on holiday to the Gold Coast to escape cold SA for a month , we always catch a tram into Surffers Paradise 30 Km each way from where we stay to have a Royal Copenhagen ice cream , only have a single cone !! with three layers all different flavours topped with chocolate syrup and nuts .. Will be up there soon , my favourite is macadamia nut and coffee crunch
 
I have an ice cream store a mile from me and they make everything one can imagine using ice cream. Pies, cakes, cones, malts, special order items just to name a few and all ice cream is home made. For me heaven is just a mile away.

That's in, or very close to Evergreen Park, if I recall correctly, from my Yellow Cab driving days. Never heard of it, or saw it, until I had a fare to the big hospital in Evergreen Park, back in the 70's. I'm Chicago born and raised.
You probably never heard of Carl's Red Hots when you lived in EP. It, too, was a "Chicago Institution," but, in reality, only to those in the area.
Funny how we all think of our childhood favorites as being known all over our respective cities.
 
Recently, on one of our drives in the country, went through a small town with a well-known dairy. Kawartha Dairies. We were all gung-ho to get an ice-cream cone .. until we saw the sign on the door that said "sorry, no scoops". We were too far from home to get a container. Bummer!

Now, I'm determined to go to The Danforth area (better known as Greek-Town) to get grape ice cream. We'll go prepared, with ice packs and insulated bag.

I'm restricted in what I can eat, but darn it, I'm having my grape ice cream. It has been years since I've had it.

Bummer. I hope you get your grape ice cream.

Thee used to be a place in Arlington VA called Gifford's. They had this super-sized banana split called the Alpine Split. I would walk out of there looking 3 months pregnant.

There also used to be a place called High's Dairy. It was like a scaled-down 7-11 well before 7-11 came to town, but they specialized in milk and ice cream. They had the best orange sherbet.

I couldn't name an ice cream parlor that's still doing business around here. Been years since I've been to one anywhere.
