"Stroll Elfreth’s Alley. Visit the Liberty Bell. Conjure the ghost of Ben Franklin. Whatever you do in Old City first, you should visit this 1920s-rendition of an ice cream parlor last. The flavors and toppings are endless, the massive banana splits are topped with housemade compotes, and the pretzel ice cream sandwich bars won't melt on your way home." - alison kessler, candis mclean
