This hidden gem hasn’t changed much over the years; the decor is still straight out of the 1970s, and the menu board hasn’t been replaced since then, either. What Eastwind does have is friendly service, delicious food, and huge ice cream cones.

…then, get your ice cream! Cones come in three sizes: small, medium, and large, and even the small size is gigantic!

The largest size measures more than a foot from top to bottom. It’s a tower of creamy deliciousness, but you might have trouble finishing it all before it melts.
