Finnigan's Ice Cream Parlor

Finnigan's Ice Cream Parlor is a 1950s era soda fountain located within the Museum of Science and Industry.  The soda "jerks" wear period appropriate white jackets and hats.  The soda fountain has counter service and tables where you can sit and rest your feet while you eat.  

The sundaes are absolutely massive (2 scoops feels more like 5).  On my sundae, they put all of the toppings on the bottom, and then I had trouble getting through all of the ice cream to enjoy the toppings.  I should have stopped the scooper and asked him to give me less, but I wasn't paying close enough attention.  The prices are what you would expect for inside a museum; large and very sharable ice creams run about $6 each.  

When I visited they had about 6 flavors of ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, mint chip, cookie dough, butter pecan, birthday cake, and maybe a couple of others).  In addition to sundaes and cones they serve banana splits, shakes, malts, rootbeer floats, etc.  

Finnigan's provides a welcome (if pricey) place to recharge after a long day at the museum.
