"Emack & Bolio’s is now a chain with locations in five states (including nine in Massachusetts) and throughout Asia, but it was born in a Brookline basement in the 1970s thanks to a “hippie lawyer” working in the music industry and looking to provide musicians a place to “mellow out and satisfy their munchies” after gigs. In addition to numerous ice cream flavors (and cones dipped in almost absurd amounts of candy, cereal, and other toppings), Emack & Bolio’s serves chocolates and fudge, smoothies, ice cream pizza, and micro-brewed sodas. Sample flavors: heaven (vanilla, marshmallow, white chocolate chips), mud pie, grasshopper pie, trippin’ on espresso, bananas Foster" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
