Ice cream with Norman Rockwell |
900 Lincoln Street Denver, CO 80203 United States +1 303 837 1366 |
Established in 1951 as a soda fountain and pharmacy, this area landmark is straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. The soda fountain offers sweet, hand-dipped chocolate milkshakes and serves the extras in the steel mixer. Over 100 microbrews are available for carryout, and an extensive wine department offers wines from around the world. The alcohol selection may seem unusual in this environment, and it is: this shop was "grandfathered in" (allowed to continue established business practices) after Colorado passed a law against selling liquor and groceries in the same place.
