Borden's is the place to go on Summer weekend afternoons. But beware, it can be crowded on Sunday around 3 p.m. The college is just a block away, and students come by for an afternoon snack, as do families, and just about everyone around. I can't remember when Borden's wasn't around.
If you havn't eaten a meal in a few hours... try the Banana Split, though my FAVORITE is the Gold Brick Sundae.. vanilla ice-cream with gold brick chocolate poured over and pecans sprinkled on top.
The frappes are refreshing and thick - use a spoon!
"Borden's chocolate malt is presented with a spoon and a straw. The spoon is more useful, as the malt is too thick to suck up a straw."

"Here is where you stand to place your order ... and to watch the experts scoop, dip, mix, and squirt."

"A neighborhood ice cream store, Borden's look like it hasn't changed in about a half century."

"Portraits of Borden's mascot, Elsie the Cow, are evident inside the restaurant as well as outside above the doors. Her partner Elmer and their calf-child Beauregard are not depicted."

"Sundae toppings. On the left, wet nuts. Right: strawberry"
