Cool Down on Broadway
The summer is
finally heating up. Searching for a cool treat? Look no further
than East Broadway! Local restaurants have a wide variety of sweet treats
to cool you off and please your taste buds.
Here are some ways to keep your cool:
- Head to
Louie's Ice Cream for a scoop of their delicious new double-dutch
chocolate ice-cream.
- Try Central American specialty horchata, a cool rice-based drink sweetened with
cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, found at Taco Loco, Montecristo, Los
Paisanos or Maya Sol.
- In the
mood for something fruity? Sample one of Rodizio Brazilian
Steakhouse's fruit juices or fruit poulps such as suco de cajú (cashew
juice) or the açai fruit poulp.
- Stop
by Tony's Foodland for a "minuta," the Central American version
of slush - shaved ice made to order with a great variety of flavors and
fixins including pineapple sauce or condensed milk.
Hope you have a very East
Somerville Summer! |
