I am surprised you still haven't tried the best home made ice cream on the Island. I was disappointed that they ran out of rum raisin ice cream, but they still had the guitarist who put everybody in a mellow mood. (Or, was it the ice cream.) -- Peter

Yes, I still haven't tried McNulty's. And rum raisin is my favorite. Of course, I've got to watch the carb intake constantly because of the diabetes but every now and then I have some ice cream. Have you been to Snowflakes in Riverhead?

Gotta admit I never head of it. Tanger makes any trip to Riverhead very expensive, unless I am just passing through and driving alone. Magic Fountain does me in. -- Peter |
