Time for another clip show.
Here you will find my top picks, revised since Post #200 back in November 2012. As the blog has grown substantially, I've changed the Top 20 tag to the revised TOP 25 TO VISIT tag. (This includes two places I will post about in the next month or two.)
My hope is that you will check this blog when you travel and use that handy-dandy search box on the right to see what I recommend in your destination city. And if I haven't written about that particular place, I hope you sample the best and report back, maybe even write a Field Report guest blog. (While this blog's primary allegiance is with local scoop shops, see my Freezer Favorites for the best of grocery store ice cream.)

#1 Toscanini’s (Cambridge, MA)
#2 Morelli's (Atlanta, GA)
#3 Creole Creamery (New Orleans, LA)
Favorite Doughnuts

In addition to blogging about the best desserts from my travels and the occasional recipe (like my creation of the perfect S'mores ice cream), my hope has been to make you laugh along the way. Here are my favorite humorous posts since Post #200:
- Cindy the Cinnamon Witch (A Holiday Tale of Sexism)
- X-Rated Ben & Jerry's (NSFW)
- This Honkey Ice Cream Be Trippin' (30 Rock Ice Cream)
- How to Celebrate a Half-birthday ('nuff said.)
