The Scene
SUVs, minivans and motorcycles vie for the few parking spaces outside this St. Matthews parlor. Inside, folks of all ages line up at the long, frosty counter before trying to nab one of the small tables clustered against the store's plate-glass window.
The Food
Graeter's ice cream is the standard against which all competitors are measured. Creamy mint-chocolate chip is stellar: Pale-green ice cream studded with chunks of premium dark chocolate. Equally enticing is chocolate-coconut almond fudge, amaretto crunch and peanut butter chip. Raspberry, strawberry, lemon, and orange sorbets are fat- and cholesterol-free. Don't expect that from the chocolate-dipped waffle cones or double-dip sodas. Splurge on the White Tower, two scoops of ice cream flooded with marshmallow cream, topped with prickly chocolate sprinkles.
