Did somebody say, “ice cream?” Sunday was National Ice Cream Day, and we're celebrating all week long! (Meaning, we’re using this as an excuse NOT to count calories consumed via waffles cones and milkshake straws.) High Point has a phenomenal list of places to grab sweet, creamy treats this July – from sundaes to waffles cones, to rolled ice cream, to healthy options, to dairy-free options! Get our list (and recommendations) for our favorite places to scream about ice cream in our city.
