Best ice cream
There's something incredibly egalitarian about JP Licks. Not only does it make its own ice cream, but it
always offers frozen yogurt (hard and soft), which is easier on the lactose-challenged set. It's certified
kosher, too. And it's hard to be pretentious when your decorating motif involves a pink cow print. Around
the city, this small chain's followers remain loyal to individual flavors - Coffee Oreo seems to inspire
particular passion - as they march toward liberty and dairy desserts for all.
In Cambridge, Christina's Homemade Ice Cream is a little more exotic. Lines snake through the small space,
with diners often scratching their heads as they try to imagine exactly what goes into the more unusual
offerings on the chalkboard menu. The inventive and ever-changing options run the gamut - from Indian
khulfi to Mexican chocolate, with stops along the way for alcohol (Wild Turkey) and even savory food (goat
cheese). Baskin-Robbins, eat your heart out.
JP Licks, various locations; Christina's, 1255 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, (617) 492-7021.
