The most remarkable execution of next-gen ice cream in these parts has to come from Ices Plain & Fancy. It's a storefront in a residential neighborhood, making most of its ice cream right in front of the customer. They use liquid nitrogen, KitchenAid mixers and blowtorches to create a dense, creamy mixture that's unlike anything else around. It's Ferran Adria crossed, almost literally, with a Victorian London cooking school - see the wall decorations. Berries and cream are topped with a berry coulis, fresh fruit, frozen pomegranate seeds and a rosette of fruit-flavored whipped cream. For the over-21 crowd, there's Dickel whiskey and pralines partying together. Theirs is an unusually flavorful waffle cone, too.
