The Peggy at The Margaret Cleveland – Gourmet Snowballs

The Peggy - Review - Northeast Baltimore - Baltimore - The Infatuation

"Baltimore’s summer dessert staple is the snowball: shaved ice that’s flavored with all kinds of syrups (including the ubiquitous egg custard), with the option to add a thick layer of marshmallow on top. You can find them at various roadside shacks all over the city, but the surroundings and the history at The Peggy are particularly notable. They’ve been around since 1922, and the shack is attached to a luscious garden and accompanying store. There are over 40 flavors, all using real cane sugar, and every one of their syrups—from sweet white peach to tart blood orange—goes quite well with the sticky-sweet marshmallow." - Carlo Mantuano
