"This vegan ice cream shop can put any question to bed about whether oat-milk soft serve tastes like cow’s milk soft serve. It’s almost indistinguishable from the classic dairy versions of our youth, so creamy and smooth you’ll want to slather it all over like a $400 face cream you got for free. Runaway Cow offers just two flavors—vanilla or chocolate—that you can get plain, or as a base for things like chocolate-dipped cones, sundaes, and candy-filled snowstorms. There’s limited seating (only a few street-side benches), but there’s a high probability you’ll want to finish your ice cream before even leaving the bright-pink-and-lime green shop. Head to Bridgeport to conduct your own scientific research." - Veda Kilaru
