We are at port discovery ATM and I would like to have some ice cream after, but I want to sit down somewhere and have a Sunday, or banana split, or float.... Some "old fashioned" type of ice cream, and I say old fashioned because I never see those anymore.
Someplace in Nova would work too. Suggestions? |

| The only old-fashioned ice cream places I know are in New York or New England. There's a place in NoVa called the Dairy Godmother but haven't been there. Maybe try using Yelp? |

The best place in Baltimore is Vaccaro's in Little Italy. The homemade Gelato is fantastic. Do yourself a favor and alot yourself time to go in, browse, select a wonderful dessert, slow down to enjoy and possibly have a second.
In our group of friends, every several years, we take a group up there some night on a Monday night where there is AYCE dessert for $15.50 per person. We have a light dinner and then head up there planning to spend a couple of hours and enjoy all sorts of treats. Soooooo worth it. |

I like Milwaukee Frozen Custard. The Chantilly location has a train that runs on a track around the top of the room.

| Do you mean you want great tasting, homemade ice cream, or do you want a place that does the fancy dishes, i.e., banana splits and has an old-fashioned atmosphere? There are plenty of places that have great tasting ice cream, but won't have that atmosphere. And there are ice-cream shops that have that old time "feel," but are serving Hershey's ice cream. |

| Okay, so you didn't ask for BETWEEN Baltimore and NOVA, but the Double Dipper in Laurel (only about a mile off Rt 95) has an old fashioned ice cream shop feel, does the banana split, etc. and serves Hershey's, which is pretty good. |

| And Dairy Godmother in Alexandria is FABULOUS. |
