The Scene
This restaurant has been forming these unique cones here since 1926. Lines get long in the summer, so plan on a wait. There are a few picnic tables out back, but it's standing room only inside, where kids will love watching cone production. Look for a big pink building on this rather desolate stretch of Western Avenue--the Evergreen Country Club golf course is across the street, but fenced off and inaccessible.

The Food
The ''original rainbow cone'' is composed of five flavors--chocolate, strawberry, pistachio and Palmer House (cherry flavored, with chunks of cherry and walnut) ice creams, along with orange sherbet--packed into a wedge atop your cone. The Palmer House variety is terrific on its own, with huge pieces of cherries throughout. Similarly, the pistachio is loaded with nut chunks. The same rainbow flavors can also be packed to go--and in the same multicolored style.
