"This list is stacked with ice cream legends, but the elder statesman of the group is the nearly 50-year-old Ice Creamsmith in Dorchester’s Lower Mills. It’s easy to go all out here with a dizzying array of candies to mix into flavors like mocha and coconut almond swirl, and squiggles of hot fudge and caramel over top, but for first-timers, start with the ultimate classic: A simple sweet cream scoop that the shop has been perfecting for decades." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams
