Ithaca New York: The City With A Cherry On Top

Sundaes are us, and they have been pleasuring our collective senses ever since 1892, when an enterprising Ithaca, New York soda fountain proprietor accessorized a scoop of ice cream with sweet syrup and candied cherry, then named it after the Sabbath. For well over a century, the ice cream sundae has been a symbol of our abundance and appetite, our ingenuity, and our never-lost youth. In their assembly, sundaes acquire personality not only through their combination of ingredients, but through the history that they witness. Author Michael Turback recounts 125 years of sundae history with a fascinating buffet of popular lore and a wickedly delicious collection of recipes.
