Ever in search of justification for our gluttonous tendencies, we still can't believe our luck in having Sylvan Beach. Fantastic homemade ice cream, lusciously silky and bursting with generous chunks, hunks, or lumps of the appropriate nuts, candy, cookies, and fruit. It seems almost debauched to take ice cream this good and cover it with syrup (say, hot fudge) and other toppings (like maybe whipped cream, chopped nuts, and a cherry), but we're willing to suffer for a good cause. A bright, cheerful little ice-cream palace, Sylvan Beach is run by a nonprofit organization that houses and employs high school dropouts, educating them for a life beyond the streets, beyond even the icecream counter, as noble a profession as that seems to us.
