If you’re thinking about hitting up a center city ice cream chain for some refreshing junk food, think again. You could spend two bucks to take route 33 up to Philly Flavors at 21st and Fairmount, buy yourself a tasty treat, and still spend less than you would have at the big-name joints. Please note the photo: that is a $2.50 “small” twist with rainbow sprinkles (pigeon not included)—also known as a $3+ medium-sized twist at Other Places That Shall Not Be Named. PF is incredibly popular in the neighborhood, and for good reason. They offer homemade ice cream, water ice, frozen yogurt, and milkshakes just for starters. They’ll also make any bizarre combination you can come up with. If that’s not impressive enough, watch the counter staff take rapid-fire orders without missing a beat or keeping anyone waiting. Insider tip: start with a kid’s size until you know what you’re getting into. Seriously. If you’re the cocky, adventurous type, try a sundae; just be prepared to walk out with a container the size of a bucket and a guilty conscience (but without an empty wallet).
