Swensen's Grill & Ice Cream Parlor

Why We Love It: The scoop: In 1948, founder Earle Swensen opened his first parlor in San Francisco. This is one of only three locations in the U.S., but there are plenty of Swensen’s across Asia and the Middle East, plus Canada and Colombia. Don’t miss: Popular with families and kids, this is where you go all out with sundaes – add Oreos, cookie dough, peanut butter cups, hot fudge, marshmallow sauce.
