Philadelphia is perhaps for me one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. It is intimate, the architecture is grand and the tiny cobble stoned streets echo a long lost era.
Before driving back to New York our last stop was at the Franklin Fountain, an ice cream salon that takes you back to the early 1900's when the local soda fountain was a popular gathering place. The two proprietors and brothers Eric and Ryan Berley named their business after a famous person - in this case Philadelphia's own Benjamin Franklin, who had operated his first business nearby.
The ice-creams and shakes are wonderfully delicious. Made with organic and locally produced seasonal ingredients I can safely say that the ginger ice-cream that I slurped on for half hour was the best ginger ice-cream I have ever licked. And their chocolate shake!!! I might even wrestle for it.
