Ice Cream, We All Scream For Ice Cream

We've all heard that favorite phrase before. And now that the hot weather is here, now is a great time for great ice cream.



But where to eat the best of the best ice cream in Nassau County? Indeed, you can go to the 'regulars' like Friendly's or Baskin-Robbins. And believe me, they are excellent!



Here is a link to the nearest Friendly's - just insert your zip code at the top of the page and you'll get a list of local Friendly restaurants for your ice cream. Click here for your local Baskin-Robbins



Okay, now that we've got that straight, where would you go for some specialized ice cream? It just so happens that there was an article in 'American Towns' that discussed this very issue. AT is a local newspaper publisher and the article came from the Long Beach edition of the paper back in early June 2010. Here is the link: Best Ice Cream in Nassau County



Some of the ice cream parlors included: Krisch's in Massapequa, Itgen's in Valley Stream and Mitchell's Restaurant in Oceanside. Finally, you can visit Gooseberry Grove in Oyster Bay and Harry's Confectionary in Glen Cove.



Please note that we have not tried any of these ice creameries (well, actually, I have tried Bollinger's in Farmingdale and it was scrumptious!) but we would love to have a taste testing. In this long, hot summer the idea of ice cream sounds fantastically cool!



So, we hope you enjoy your ice cream, but please not we are not endorsing any of these ice creameries since we got their names from the aforementioned list.



That being said - enjoy!



Regards,

Stu
