Zebra Striped Whale
The signature is the Whirlwind: ice cream hand-mixed with your toppings at the counter until it's one swirl. Family-run on State Street since 2004, named after a children's book the founder wrote and illustrated herself.
Field notes: Twelve ice cream stops, one of them run by teenagers
