Ice Cream at Kilwins

While in New Orleans the last week of April and the first week of May, I did set out to try some ice cream and gelato.  Ice cream and gelato is a nice way to take a break from the heat and walking and have some quiet time in between feeding your ears with some of the best music in the world.

My stop was Kilwins at 600 Decatur Street before going on that evening's ghost tour.  Kilwins, ice cream and candy shop, is located in the of Jax Brewery building.  (I learned the Jax Brewery is not longer existent.)  I stopped here in the evening and there were no crowds and the building was air conditioned, which was a nice break for this New Englander from the 80 degree tropical weather.  I found that even though I had all the choices in the world in flavors of ice cream, I gravitated toward chocolate.  And I had delicious, creamy, excellent ice cream cone, which tasted like the best chocolate ice cream cone in the world.  Maybe they all are.  With ice cream:  A toast to Dessert-Rebellion.
