You may say, "ice cream is ice cream." I disagree, my friend.
Each of the ice cream spots that made the cut has its own special charm, flavor, or feature.
According to Newsweek, our favorite ice cream flavors are (counting down):
- Birthday cake
- Neopolitan
- Chocolate Chip
- Pistachio
- Coffee
- Rocky Road
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- Cookies and Cream (my personal favorite)
- Mint Chocolate Chip
- Butter Pecan
- Strawberry
- Vanilla
- and #1 - Chocolate

It's time to scream for some ice cream.
