Former finance types Carolyn and Stu Feldschuh ditched their NYC jobs and bought the stand from the family that’s been running it since the 1950s, keeping the recipes. Of course visitors order the vanilla chocolate soft serve swirl, but there’s also a rotation of other soft serve flavors, from strawberry to mint. Hard ice creams can arrive as a sundae, a “snowich,” or a cannoli.

From St. Louis ribs to Carolina pulled pork, Maple Tree is a pan-barbecue spot that has gained a following in the region. By-the-pound St. Louis style ribs, Carolina pulled pork, and Alabama-style pulled chicken are all on the menu. It’s eat-in or takeout, with sandwiches like the Alabama sandwich with white horseradish and cheddar on a Portuguese roll.

A modest space with fabulous food, Taqueria Mexico is tough to find but worth the stop. Get the lengua (tongue) or carnitas (pork) taco dressed with quesa fresca, lime, and plenty of cilantro. Don’t skip the specials, especially if they’re serving the complex mole poblano.
