Where To Take Your Friend From Either Coast

"You’re not going to this old-fashioned ice cream parlor for a tiny scoop of cardamom-scented ice cream topped with free-range honeysuckle tendrils. You’re at Margie’s for giant sundaes served in clamshell bowls with gravy boats of homemade hot fudge and caramel on the side. This place has been around since 1921, and the interior looks like your grandparents’ garage sale. There’s a jukebox, old-timey photographs, and stuffed animals that look like they were won at a carnival 30 years ago. If you’ve ever wanted to eat one of those cartoon-style sundaes with 15 scoops of ice cream, you can do it here (it’s called the World’s Largest Terrapin). Good luck fitting your friends on the plane." - adrian kane
