What's the scoop? 34 places to grab a cone on National Ice Cream Day
July 17 is National Ice Cream Day and if ever there's a day to scream for ice cream, this is it. It's the heart of summer. It's hot. It's humid. And ice cream is the perfect cool-down treat. Digging your spoon into its creamy richness can't help but make you happy, especially when there's swirls of chocolate (or strawberry or chips or Nutella or sprinkles) involved, although, personally, I'm a fan of vanilla.
Below are some options for enjoying this decadent summer favorite.
