Cherry Vanilla

What can you say about cherry vanilla? Eddie's has big pieces of cherries and is pink. I've had it in the past because it's one of the flavors I go for when I feel like having fruit ice cream.

A warning to my in-laws, who are coming to visit next week and want to go to Eddie's: The place looks like it has a split personality. To the left when you walk in is an old-fashioned soda-shop counter, with stools, a marble countertop and a board with a menu and all the flavors. There are tables in the back and ceiling fans spin lazily above. To the right, though, are dusty cases full of Beanie Babies, birthday dolls and other knicknacks, looking like they've been there since the early '90s. This flotsam gives the place a vaguely run-down, junky feel. But if it were purely a charming soda shop, it wouldn't feel like such a find, I think. You don't want it to feel like you're at Disney World, do you?
