Things to Do: Eat Ice Cream!

It’s finally warmed up in western New York, and that means it’s ice cream season again! There are plenty of places to go out for ice cream in the area, but I have a couple recommendations.

If you don’t want to drive very far, make your way south on Route 19 to Oramel and turn into Coffee Plus Cafe. They feature over 125 flavors of soft serve ice cream and have a nice patio where you and your friends can enjoy your cones in the sunshine.

If you are up for a longer drive, head to Arcade and stop at Delightfull’s. There you can find hard ice cream and soft serve in addition to sundaes, floats, and blizzards. The shop is quaint and the atmosphere pleasant.

For ice cream and a little entertainment, consider the Charcoal Corral. Their ice cream parlour offers soft and hard ice cream, and you can enjoy it while playing a round of mini golf for $5.

You could also see two featured films at the Silver Lake drive-in theater for $7. The films begin at dusk this weekend, and on the first screen The Croods and Oz: The Great and Powerful are playing. On the second screen you can see Oblivion and Identity Thief.

Wherever you choose to go, make sure you de-stress and enjoy a cone during the nice weather sometime before the end of the semester.

I am a senior psychology and sociology major, and I am the editor of the sports and culture section for the Star this year. I am passionate about journalism, and I am proud that it is thriving on Houghton’s campus. My favorite part of my section is the Things To Do column; I enjoy getting students excited about the local area and what it has to offer. I hope to bring the campus a vibrant arts and sports section that reflects students’ interests and passions. Let me know if you have any ideas or comments!
