The Best Ice Cream in Philly | Eater Philly

"Few spots do justice to nostalgic soda shop vibes like the Franklin Fountain, an Old City destination from brothers Ryan and Eric Berley. The business only dates back to 2004 but sits in a lovingly renovated historic building recalling the turn of the century. Go for the decadent sundaes, like the Stock Market Crunch with rocky road ice cream (invented in 1929), peanut butter sauce, salted pretzels, and whipped cream. The Berleys also run the Franklin Ice Cream Bar next door, several seasonal shops, and Shane Confectionery, which was founded in 1863." - Annemarie Dooling
