Banana Splitsomania Quickies 1

Lately, I've been concentrating the happenings at Kimballs, Jay Gees, etc.  But since then, I've left out some ice cream shops to quickly review.  Here's a few quickies this Saturday.


NONA's HOMEMADE: Hingham
This ice cream is located near a corner on Hingham Street. Their brownie sunday is fudgy, and rich. It's got lots of flavers, but only 25 of them are available at a time, rotating. I ordered the sludge, which is a chocolate river ice cream. They covered this on Youtube once in two parts on how to make it. Certainly, it's not quite worth the trip from far away, but it's certainly worth trying if you live near this area.


HAPPY CHOCOLATIER: Westford
Located in Naggog Mall, right near Bobby's Ranch, it's a chocolate shop that also sells ice cream.  Sorry, they don't serve banana splits, and only serves about 14 flavers.  Since Kimballs is only about 10 minutes away (turn right after you exit, and then turn right on route 110, you will come across 50 flavers of ice cream there, plus you can order a large size brownie sundae or a banana split.


SPRINKLES: Boston at Quincy Market
Located at the east end of quincy market, this ice cream chain seems good at first, and the ice cream is pretty good, as the brownie itself is thick and the hot fudge is thick and hot itself.  But it blows it away when this thing is extremily expensive at 10 bucks, something that you can get way better elsewhere, like Kimballs only costs 6.25, and you get more ice cream (although restricted to one flaver), and more brownie.
Not to mention, it's not locally made and it's from richardsons (which is another ice cream stand to explore).  At least it's not from hood.

ERIKSON'S ICE CREAM: Carver MA
This ice cream place is in a brilliant location, especially during September, since I can drop by on my way home from King Rhichard's Faire.  This thing has lots of flavers, and I do believe it's made from the same company, though, in a different location.  Now, speaking of September, that's as far as they opened.  Blaah.  Maybe if they have opened a month longer, this place would have sold more ice cream.  Coupled the fact that The Frosty Man is nearby, and that's opened year round.  That's erickson's potential loss, since they closed a month too early, they could made more money that way had they've been open a month longer.

THE ICE CREAM LADY: Douglass
Located near Dunkin Donuts, this place ends the season off with free ice cream of your choice, with one per customer.  I don't believe it's home made though, but what's attracting is the ice cream statue.  This place doesn't actually have a name for it, but I call this place "Ice Cream Lady", because of the statue.

Well, I still have lots more ice cream stands to cover, within next month in October.
