Oh! The Places You'll Go: Ice Cream Fore-U
COURTESY OF URBANSPOON
Reasons to be excited for spring term:
- If you’re a ’15, this is most likely the first term since sophomore fall (aside from sophomore summer) where the majority of your class is on campus. Bring on the reunions.
- If you’re a ’16, you are one term closer to the famed sophomore summer.
- Green Key is mere weeks away.
- Though current conditions suggest otherwise, the Green will eventually become visible underneath all that snow and the trees will sprout leaves and bloom.
- Most importantly…Ice Cream Fore-U is officially open again for business!
A “baby” size will get you what would be considered a small or medium at other ice cream joints, so choose wisely when you order. The prices are dirt cheap, but do bring cash, as Ice Cream Fore-U is cash-only. Flavors range from the traditional (chocolate, vanilla) to the uniquely New England (Maine bear tracks, maple), and the menu also offers shakes, banana splits, brownie sundaes and Fore-U’s version of a McFlurry.
While pilgrimages to West Leb for some scoops are a cherished sophomore summer activity, there’s no wrong time of year to make a trip for the Upper Valley’s best value in ice cream. Given that campus still very much resembles the Arctic tundra, ice cream may not sound like the most appealing treat, but who knows — maybe munching on a cone is exactly the key to getting in the warm-weather mindset.
