We failed at hating on cupcakes. We won't try to hate on ice cream. We'll just drop the hardcore exterior facade and say that ice cream is another universal crowd-pleaser. This outdoor "I scream" stand has been in this location for over ten years, and every summer it is mobbed by children and grateful parents, and by adults that are craving the afternoon or after-dinner desert treat.
The waffle cone is big enough to fit two over-sized scoops. The chocolate shake is the best milkshake seller, and the strawberry-banana flavor is tops in the smoothie category. There are also a few flavors of Italian Ice available.
http://www.zingersicecream.com/history.htm has pretty much all you need to know about this concoction, including this interesting bit of info:
Give credit to Nancy Johnson. In 1847 she developed the first hand-crank ice cream maker, and despite what you might read elsewhere, received a patent for it. Much of the confusion (and lack of credit) to Ms. Johnson comes from the fact that she sold her rights to William Young for just $200 (still a pretty good sum in those days). He at least had the courtesy to call the machine the “Johnson Patent Ice-Cream Freezer.”
So if you feel the need to find a sweet treat on a warm summers day or night, you can head down to Lumina Avenue and enjoy the warm air on the stand's long bench, or you can pick up some to rush back to the house and slurp.
