It's ice cream szn (the trendy way to spell it), and if you want to cool down and enjoy some of the best ice cream in the country, look no further than New Jersey.

Livability says, "Artisan ice cream lovers in New Jersey are smitten with The Bent Spoon. This shop may be small, but it has created quite a stir among the people of Princeton. Everything is made from scratch and utilizes seasonal ingredients from local producers, which means nobody leaves disappointed. And if you feel like branching out from your usual waffle cone order, you can always splurge on some European-style hot chocolate topped with their decadent homemade marshmallows or one of their unique scoops of the day."
