From the editor
Now that it’s officially summer it’s also time to talk about our favorite sweet treat — ice cream.

If you’re on TikTok frequently, you might be familiar with this group of guys who are road tripping across the US to find out which state has the best ice cream. They recently visited New England and hit up Nantucket’s The Juice Bar for the Bay State stop. The shop delivered a rating of 9.3 out of 10, meaning Massachusetts is currently in third place. Follow along to see how the rest of the journey goes.
