* you should eat it at Goldie's in Prairie City after a visit to Neil Smith Prairie Preserve, where part of the preservation is an uninterrupted view (which releases seratonin, which may be good for digestion, but I'm just guessing)
* nothing makes me more upset than an overrated ice cream shop, because you can't NOT finish an ice cream cone and when it's not up to speed, I feel so bitter
* there is nothing at all wrong with DQ in a pinch
* it's not soft serve, but the 3- or 4-ingredient vanilla Haagen Daz will fix you when you're broken somewhere deep
One of the things I love about you is that you have opinions and you are not afraid to own them!
Ice cream absolutely should have some SALT in it — yes!
Putting Goldie’s on my list, right now
I am totally willing to lop the top off of an ice cream cone if it’s not great or the serving turned out to be too big. Side note: the baby or mini size soft serve is the best size, in my opinion
Love this and love soft serve. I can’t do a trip to NYC without a Mister Softee with rainbow sprinkles from one of the many trucks along the streets in Manhattan. It’s probably not the best ice cream, but it’s all about the location and atmosphere and nostalgia.
Fabulous. Can't wait to hear what you think, Oma! If they have the rainbow Rice Krispies topping (and if you're feeling like reliving childhood), it makes for such a fun addition!
I have thoughts on ice cream.

I love a DQ dip cone
🍦
At our house we love what we call the “baby ice cream cones” from Trader Joe’s. Perfect size.
LOVE those, too, especially in the winter when they have the peppermint ones.

Sounds perfect to me!
Step aside, tomato girl summer. Soft serve summer sounds like the ultimate way to celebrate the season! What a terrific idea, Oma! Next time you're in NYC, I highly recommend swinging by these two spots if you haven't been: https://morgensternsbananas.com/ https://www.seedandmill.com/pages/ice-cream
Thank you for the tempting tour!
Thanks, Karla! I loved Seed + Mill, and I’ll put Morgenstern’s on my NY list!

Love these itinerary notes!
