Honorable mentions went to Byrne Dairy, Coneheads, and Wendy's Diner - who all earned a vote.
The best thing about all of these places is the variety to their menus. Whether you're craving custard, hard ice cream, a sundae, milkshake, or just the most outrageous flavor out there - these places have you covered.
Even better, some parlors come with additional fun things to do, like slapping around a golf ball. Summer is the season for golf, you know.
In the end, it's probably a good idea to know where the best spots for ice cream are in Central New York. This summer is supposed to be absurdly hot, so chances are you're going to need something to keep yourself cool in the sweltering temperatures.
