"A block-long queue leads up to Himitsudō's bright red door, where thatched straw brooms dangle overhead. Through the threshold is a fast-paced shaved ice operation consisting of vintage machinery that allows staffers to crush the ice by hand. Himitsudō offers 132 syrups to top your shaved ice, along with seasonal varieties. Go for a familiar flavor, or take a chance on the Satsumaimo-Cream Caramel, which has sweet potatoes thrown into the mix. Come for a midday dessert; if you arrive in the late-afternoon, just before dinner, you can take advantage of the lull in the line." - Brad Japhe
