Worth the drive
a 1919 marble soda fountain still making small-batch ice cream in downtown Savannah. Get the tutti-frutti and walk the squares. Pure joy.

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.

The move: Get the tutti-frutti (the 1919 original) or the honey-almond-and-cream, expect a line (it moves), and eat it strolling the nearby squares. It's an easy, joyful stop in the historic district. Cones and old-fashioned sundaes both deliver.
