Ice Cream

Here are the 3 well-known ice cream chains throughout the city...this afternoon my friend Emily and I tried the 3rd one, so now I can post about them in entirety.

Freddo - the most common brand...8 peso cones. I´ve eaten Freddo twice, both times I got banana split flavor (which is banana base with chocolate chips and dulce de leche swirled in) and dulce de leche. There are Freddo´s all over the place, and they´re always tempting!

Persicco - a little bit higher end than Freddo ... I´ve only seen 2 stores of Persiccos throughout the city. One is right by the Subway stop going to di Tella, so I always see that one as I pass. It always looks so inviting, especially since it has lots of outdoor seating (which is almost always full on warm days).

Un Altra Volta - The one I ate at this afternoon, and I think my favorite so far, but the cones were 12 pesos, so definitely the most expensive. The inside was super chic and sleek, and there was a patio inside. I had dulce de leche with bombón, and banana with chocolate chips. Both good choices.

All the ice cream here is delicious ... and they don´t really give you huge portions, so you never feel thaaat bad about eating it. I can see all the temptation getting dangerous when it actually gets hot out here!
