Having been brought up nearby and remembering Tophams from my childhood I took my husband there yesterday in search of nostalgia. We arrived at 4.55 pm and even though the sign said they closed at 5pm, we were welcomed in cheerfully. Our Sundaes (knickerbocker glory for him, California glory, minus bananas, for me) were plentiful and tasty. Will be back next time we're in Brid!

This is my most favourite place in the world best ice-cream or ice cream soda love the banana split. When you walk in it's like going back in time 1950's lovely I've been back again today I can honestly say that the 30 miles just to visit this ice-cream parlour was worth it, still the best banana split on the east coast. Worth every penny.
