"Hidden in a small shopping center between a 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
