The tiny ice cream shop around the corner from my house has the best ice cream in the city. When you walk inside, there is a long, silver counter with matching stools extending alongside the far wall. Right where the counter stops, there are comfy, red booths. There are lots of old-fashioned decor on the walls and silver napkin holders on all the polished tables. My favorite part of the shop is behind the counter, where they keep all the delicious ice cream flavors, such as cookies and cream, pistachio, and moose tracks.
