The Big Chill

A Sweet Little Treat in Little Italy

In the Beach, we have Ed's real scoop, which has amazing homemade ice-cream, but I couldn't help falling in love with a little ice cream shop in Little Italy. The Big Chill is located at the corner of College and Manning. The inside is tiny, but with such a neat patio, the only reason to step indoors is to get your delectable frozen treat. The waffle cones are freshly made and the product is fresh, creamy, and comes in flavors that range from classic to creative. Once you get your cone or banana split, with the topping(s) of your choice, you step outside to find a great place for kids to socialize, play, and get covered in ice cream. The kids take turns driving, or taking the passenger seat of the two little cars that take the place of a couple of boring tables. Logan, my daughter the jock/princess, made sure to check under the hood to make sure all the plastic parts were in working order. There are a few antique-style benches and tables with umbrellas for the adults to sit. If you have a kid with you, bring a book to read, because he or she is never going to want to leave.
