Cooling down in the summertime part 2: Fosselman's

Fosselman's

This time, I decided to post about an old fashioned ice cream parlor. This place has been around for about 80+ years and it's still kicking. I really don't have much to say about this place other than it's classic, it's delicious, and it's a nice place to take a date or the family. It's located in Alhambra just off the 10 freeway about 10 minutes from Downtown L.A., so check it out sometime on a weekday afternoon. Enjoy.


What to eat: Banana split, ice cream sundae, ice cream float
What to drink: Frozen Lemonade
What to know before you go: Just a nice place to go
Where to park: There's a car lot on the side between Fosselman's and a bank.

Cooling down in the summertime part 1: Scoops

Scoops

I figured I'd post something to help you beat the heat this summer; I give you Scoops! A really laid back Gelato place nestled in a quaint bicycle/vegan neighborhood from what I could tell. You'll really like the proprietor of Scoops, he's a nice little old man who obviously loves what he does and it shows in his great products. You may find some of the flavors to be somewhat different but most are actually good--Although, I can't say that about all of them because I have yet to try them all. I suggest the Brown Bread flavor, the Oreo flavor, or if you want something a little more refreshing then one of the sorbet flavors.


What to eat: Brown Bread, Oreo, or a sorbet
What to drink: Bottled water
What to know before you go: It's street parking and many are metered, so bring change.
Where to park: On the street wherever you can.
