Original Rainbow Cone
Original Rainbow Cone in Beverly is open year-round, but summertime is when the lines grow with locals yearning for the stacked-up hot-weather confection. The paradigmatic order for the layers of the rainbow cone is first chocolate, then strawberry, vanilla, pistachio and finally a cap of orange sherbet, all on a cake cone. You can get it with any combination of flavors, year-round, and now even at Navy Pier, but nothing compares with having it at the original location in summer. (David Hammond)
