Scoops
Scoops is an ice cream window and it's pretty die-hard. It's open every day, sells 5 cent candy and wiffle ball-and-bat sets, water ice, lottery tickets and pizza nuggets (and so much more). Pizza nuggets, if you're not familiar with this neighborhood delicacy, are fashioned with Philly pretzel pieces, marinara and mozzarella, and microwaved to perfection. Although not as common as Artic Iced Tea, you can see many a street urchin cupping their pizza nuggets close to their chests while patrolling the neighborhood. The most brilliant thing about Scoops is the fact that it's open year round. That means I can have birthday cake ice cream on my birthday and you better believe I'm making it a tradition. And so should you.
