Camping, exploring the great outdoors, summer concerts, and more are all on the table here in the Empire State to be enjoyed. But my favorite, and maybe yours too, is that weekly visit to your favorite ice cream stand for a sweet summer treat. After a long, cold winter, we need to ingest all the ice cream possible over the next few months!

Beloved Lake George Ice Cream Stand Named Best In Nation

The food and restaurant experts at The Infatuation set out to find the best ice cream stands in the United States, serving up the best scoops and soft serve money can buy. And it will come to no surprise to Capital Region and Upstate New York ice cream lover's that Martha's on Route 9 in Queensbury made the cut!

Here is what the Infaturation foodies had to say about our beloved Martha's:

Martha’s has been pumping out mountainous swirls of soft serve for nearly 80 years....and they have an encyclopedic menu of classic flavors like birthday cake, banana, and an orange creme twist that tastes exactly like a creamsicle in soft serve form. If you don’t feel like racing to finish a cone before it drips all over your hands, they also make a dense cremewich with two cakey chocolate discs—an improved version of the paper-wrapped sandwiches you’d buy from an ice cream truck.

No trip to the Lake George region is complete, and summer in general, until you get a delicious ice cream cone bigger than your head at Martha's Dandee Creme. Martha's is simply a local legend and a must-visit destination every summer. And we are talking MULTIPLE visits to get your fill of soft serve cones, cakes, creamwiches, and maybe even a little flavor from the grill.

That reminds me - my family still has to make the first Martha's visit of the season. You now know where you'll find me this weekend!
