Brian BassettJuly 22, 2013Ithaca knows about ice cream. The sundae was supposedly invented here in 1892 & Purity has around since 1936. If you are looking for something special try the Boston - a shake with a sundae on top.Upvote8Downvote
The Open SuitcaseJuly 11, 2016Delicious ice cream and baked goods. They're doing something right-in business since 1935!

Jake SmithApril 29, 2013You have to order a sundae (the Ice Cream sundae was allegedly invented in Ithaca in 1892); I suggest the brownie version. If it is nice out, enjoy the outdoor patio.Upvote8Downvote
