Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor

Fodor's Review:

The Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor transports you back in time to a 1950s malt shop. In business in the same building since 1958, the Sugar Bowl serves great burgers and lots of yummy ice-cream confections. Valley resident Bil Keane, creator of the comic strip "Family Circus," has often used this spot as inspiration for his cartoons, many of which are on display here.
