This century-old ice cream parlor makes its own ice cream and candy, the former served at festive tables in an all-pink dining room. What a sweet blast from the past!

As for sauce, the choice is daunting, but I do not regret going with bittersweet chocolate.

Pictures of the early days of Aglamesis Bros. at the beginning of the 20th century show what look to be the same tile floor and chairs!

The livery here is pink, from the brick wall outside to the fan blades inside and the sweaters worn by the staff.
