The 7 Best Places To Go For Dessert This Summer

google.images

One thing a Long Island summer can’t be complete without is dessert! Nothing better than coming home from a long day at the beach and stopping for desert! Though there are hundreds of places across Long Island that are great for food, these are the 7 seven places to go for that special snack.

1. Kilwin’s

Besides having multiple locations, including even other states, Kilwin’s is one of the most trusted names in ice cream for just a quick cone when out with friends. They also have the best fudge around. Their flavor selection is vast and the quality of the ice cream is through the roof.

2. Hershey's Ice Cream in West Islip

Another great ice cream joint that even makes milkshakes similar to the fancy ones that are trending right now from Black Taft!

3. Any Ralph’s

Ralph’s is a Long Island staple so I shouldn’t even have to say anything at all without everyone already knowing the wonder that is Ralph’s.

4. Diner By The Sea

If you’re unfamiliar, Diner By The Sea is in Long Beach and makes some of the most delicious and cutest milkshakes across Long Island. Not only are they so fun to take pictures of, but most shakes come with little props like a crazy straw or a pair of funky sunglasses in the cup.

5. The Witches Brew

Being a Hofstra student my guilty pleasure has to be The Witches Brew because of its close proximity and really cool vibe! But their coffees, lattes, hot chocolate, and desserts are perfect especially for a cold winter night.

6. International Delight Café

Another classic joint, the café is known for its waffles and ice cream but one of my personal favorites happens to be the case of ice cream that lines the front wall with 30+ flavors! (Definitely try the Rainbow cookie cake).

7. Marvel Frozen Dairy

And last but not least, Marvel! If you’re going to take a trip to Long Beach or you live close by, Marvel’s soft serve is out of this world! It wouldn’t be a Long Island summer without it!

Revelist

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

A Candid Letter to My Best Friends Ex

Because this is the real form of torture you deserve.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

1. What you're pretty sure your upstairs neighbors do at 3am every morning.

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Rollins College

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
