The best ice cream in the city. The shop and two others in a row are all owned by the Berley Brothers. In the back of the candy shop they own three doors down from Franklin Fountain, they specialize in chocolate shakes made from their own handmade chocolate.

Sightseeing
Penn Treaty Park is a small park on the western bank of the Delaware River, in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The land that is now the park was part of the Lenape village of Shackamaxon, where William Penn famously entered into a treaty of peace with Tamanend, a chief of the Lenape Turtle Clan in 1683. A treaty that was never really honored.
