Now that summer is winding down and we’re down to our last few warm weather days it’s time to start thinking about fall! But not before we soak up every last bit of this heat first! And what’s the best way of enjoying the heat? Avoiding it by trying to keep cool! Luckily for us, tomorrow, the 22nd, is Ice Cream Cone Day and Baltimore is full of places to find yourself a delicious cone of something whether it be ice cream or frozen yogurt! Each of these places is only 20 minutes away from our home at McHenry Row!

First on our list is the Charmery. This local hand-crafted ice cream shop has only the finest flavors to bring out the true flavor of Baltimore. The Charmery uses local ingredients to support local farmers and producers. Their list of ice cream flavors is ever changing so it will be different every time you visit them!
