Ice Cream Parlor · Center City East · 262 tips and reviews
Philadelphia Magazine: Delicious handmade flavors—from chocolate and vanilla bean to Hydrox cookie and Teaberry gum—that make this purveyor of sundry sundaes so much more than an ode to the corner malt shop. Read more.
CITY GRIT: Everything is just spot on. We loved the Homemade Hot Fudge & Stock Market Crunch Sundaes but we wanted all of the floats.
Rachel Shifman: Touristy and subject to long lines, but honestly worth it. The ice cream sundaes and drinks are so unqiue and delicious!

Colleen Martin: The octopus is outstanding! Also noteworthy: Sulami plate with artichoke mustard (pronounced moose-tarde), blueberry sundae w/ coconut shortbread and the Torre Quarto "Don Marcello" wine.
Visit Philly: To complement your meal, choose from Osteria’s 100-bottle Italian wine list — and afterwards, definitely try the decadent Nutella pizza. Read more.
Eater: The Chicken Liver Rigatoni is one of Philly's best dishes, and the pizza is some of the best in the city. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Rob McGowan: Bistro with a French flair & 70's vibe at The Inn at Penn in University City. Super happy hour and fancy cocktails from the folks who bring you White Dog Café.
Carlos R: had a great dinner with work colleagues, had a great time
j spin: Oysters Rockefeller were delicious. Sorry I didn’t take the picture before... but I was too busy eating them! Great spot for a drink and the hotel upstairs is perfect.
