Sundaes and splits make a strong showing at this ice cream destination in Old City, or take it straight-up in a cup or cone. Sodas, phosphates, milkshakes and egg creams round out the coolers. Look for a rotating menu of traditional homemade, seasonal flavors such as fresh peach in summer and some unexpected options like Teaberry (yes, same as the chewing gum) year round. Themed sundaes with names like the Franklin Mint and Lightening Rod bring Philly to the table.
