Leopold's Ice Cream Review
Leopold’s has scooped ice cream in Savannah since 1919, when a Greek immigrant family opened it, and it’s a genuine time capsule — the original marble soda fountain, the old recipes (tutti-frutti, the honey-almond-and-cream that’s the signature), and a family connection to Hollywood (the founders’ son is a big-time film producer, and the shop is dressed with movie memorabilia). The line down the block moves fast, the ice cream is made in small batches on-site, and a cone here after wandering the squares is a Savannah rite. It’s the sweet, cheerful counterpoint to the city’s moody romance.
