Can you name any other super ice cream spots?

Where do you go, when you’ve gotta have a fine ice cream fix? And what’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Do you know a secret hometown ice cream spot, or do you usually opt for a larger chain? If you pick a nationwide ice cream purveyor, are you partial to Ashby’s Sterling, Baskin-Robbins, Ben & Jerry’s, Cold Stone Creamery, Culver’s, Dairy Queen, Dutch Dreams, Friendly's, Starbuck’s, TBCY or another ice cream spot?

By the way, June 25^th is National Strawberry Parfait Day.

You know the drill:

I scream.

You scream.

We all scream

For ice cream.

And that’s the scoop.
