I have written about Leopold’s Ice Cream in Savannah before, it is certainly one of the top ten ice creams we have enjoyed over the years. Each time we are in Savannah it is a required detour. We camped at a nearby Georgia State Park and came into town for a walk, dinner and dessert. The walk around several of the squares in town is always nice. Dinner was a new place, Savannah Seafood Shack. It is a sort of hole-in-the-wall kind of place with good food. You are shown to a numbered table, closely packed in, but then you order at the counter and they bring it to you after it is ready. The seafood boil was clearly very popular but we opted for fired fish and shrimp with boiled potatoes and slaw. Tasty. Then to Leopold’s. It began in 1919, was closed for several years and then revived by the founder’s grandson who is a successful Hollywood movie producer. It has become the place to go in Savannah as witnessed by the crowds. We waited nearly 40 minutes but when we left the line was well over an hour. A little unknown shop three blocks away, Ben & Jerry’s, had no line at all. Himmm.
I had an excellent Peppermint with a chocolate syrup and Cindy had the Georgian Socialite - Chocolate, pecans and caramel ribbons. Perfect ending for the evening.
