Tonight is the first Manayunk.com Stroll After Hours event this summer, and we're coming prepared.
We're introducing the Chocolate Taco-lette, a never-before-seen menu item that combines our love of plus-ing up childhood favorites AND goofy names. The taco-lette is comprised of a homemade waffle cone taco shell filled with our homemade vanilla ice cream, ultimately topped with our premium chocolate shell and jimmies.
Please note that we are ONLY selling these during Stroll After Hours, which means Thursday nights from here through August 6th.

It's been a long time since we've made this one, but we're excited to bring it back for the Semiquincentennial!
The Red White and Blue is built upon 3 little scoops of Strawberry, Vanilla, and Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream and subsequently topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream. It's equal parts refreshing AND patriotic!

Manayunk is going to be filled with sweet music this weekend thanks to Sing Us Home Festival !
We're joining in the fun with frankly TOO MANY specialty sundaes, headlined by the Sing Us Home Sundae Experience. It's built upon a foundation of Dulce de leche ice cream and is topped with caramel sauce, whipped cream, and a warm toasted churro.
With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, we're jumping in with both feet. We also have Fried Ice Cream and Ice Cream Nachos, and that means it's going to be *really hard* to make a choice. Here's a tip from a pro: Eat them all.

For many Americans, the main event this weekend is Super Bowl Sunday. Unfortunately, our Eagles are not making an appearance, so we chose to put our efforts into something else.
This weekend we're introducing Ice Cream Nachos! We engineered from-scratch Waffle Cone Chips, and we're serving them with the ice cream and dipping sauce of your choice.
Will you dip the chips into the ice cream one at a time? Will you mash the ice cream right on top of the chips in a big ol' delicious mess? It's up to you!

Happy snow day!
I am the guy who keeps an ice cream shop open during a blizzard.
We have everything ready to go, INCLUDING our from-scratch hot chocolate. It's warm in here!

After being MIA for a number of years, we've made a new batch of fan-favorite Mint Cookie ice cream. It's excellent on its own, but like most ice cream it's even better on a Belgian Waffle Sundae.
Those are back too, by the way, in case you didn't know.
