"Hidden in a small shopping center between Hopdoddy and Perla’s, Gelato Paradiso is one of our favorite spots for gelato in the whole city. The stracciatella is about as classic as it comes, with a rich, creamy vanilla folded around bitter strands of dark chocolate, and the pistachio packs in an intense earthiness. Grab an affogato if you need an afternoon pick-me-up, or just grab a two, three, or four scoop cone to keep you company while you stroll down South Congress Avenue." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
