The Best Sundaes In Philly Right Now - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"The Franklin Fountain in Old City is a decades-old spot that’s cosplaying as a century-old one. A recreation of a 1915 ice cream parlor, the staff wear bowties, the floors are tiled, and the menu is wooden. But more importantly, the classic spot serves far more sundaes and splits than your average shop. We love the Peach Melba and banana split as much as the classic hot fudge sundae. Why? Because they’re topped or drizzled with high-quality ingredients, like a housemade raspberry compote or a silky peanut butter sauce that’s good enough to bottle and sell (which they do). They all come in a Chinese takeout container, which you’ll appreciate on a sunny day when you don’t have streams of melty ice cream running down your hand." - candis mclean
