America's Best Ice Cream Shops
Massachusetts: Richardson’s Ice Cream
Things have changed a bit since the original stand opened here in Middleton, north of Boston, in 1952; it’s now a well-oiled machine with 11 service windows out front. But customers are still served old-fashioned frappes (Yankee for “milkshake”), and ice cream sodas come with a lump of ice cream topping the rim of the glass.
Flavor to Try: Richardson’s has absolutely celestial strawberry ice cream, the taste of summer in America.
