Ice cream in Silver Spring

Serious topic today. I don't mess around when the subject matter is ice cream. 24 years ago my wife and I lived in North Woodside. We loved the neighborhood because we could walk to the various stores in the area and to downtown SS (had a Hecht's and J. C. Penny back in those days) for shopping. It was for us a big treat when York Castle opened up in the little stip mall on Georgia Ave. right before 16th street peels off of it. This was not your mama's ice cream store. The owner came from Jamica and the store featured an outstanding assortment of tropical fruit ice cream-not to be found anywhere else. We loved to walk there with our dog Hero on summer evenings to try out new flavors. Well, York Castle is still there serving up tropical delights that you have never heard of, and after 24 year we still drop in for ice cream. There is an whole array of tropical flavors to try. My favorite flavor over the years has been the fresh coconut and when peaches are in season, the fresh peach ice cream is to die for. But you have to try them all at least once. If you have never been to York Castle then you just don't know where the best ice cream is in the DC area.
