One of the delights of life in
Chapel Hill is strolling down
Franklin Street with an ice cream
cone. So popular is the pastime that
Chapel Hill offers six ice cream and
yogurt shops within a mile. Where
you choose to go for your cold
confection depends on what you're
looking for.
For variety and location, Baskin
Robbins is a good place to go
between classes for an ice cream
break.
At 145 E. Franklin St., Baskin
Robbins has 40 flavors and a
special diet dairy product for
customers with heart trouble,
hypoglycemia or diabetes. People
watching their weight will be
delighted to learn that each scoop
of the special product contains only
80 calories.
For parties and special occa
sions, Baskin-Robbins makes ice
cream cakes and pies to order.
A few doors down is Gelato
D'oro (meaning ice cream of gold),
an Italian ice cream shop offering
an array of Italian flavors made
daily.
"Gelato offers a nice place to sit
and chat," said Eddie Masters, an
employee. uWe also make our own
cones here, so they're bigger than
most places."
Besides the Italiann ice creams
including flavors such as zabi
one, spumoni and egg nog marsala
Gelato D'oro serves cappucino,
espresso and cafe au lait.
Connoisseurs should visit
Haagen-Dazs, across from Univer
sity Square, if they want an authen
tic ice-cream-shop atmosphere and
quality ice cream. Ingredients for
each flavor at Haagen-Dazs are
listed for public inspection. These
include fresh cream, skim milk, egg
yolk and cane sugar or honey.
If you'd like to see someone
make ice cream, Swensen's is your,
destination. In University Square,
Swensen's has a glassed-in ice
cream factory where Bill Wallace,
chief ice cream maker, daily pro
duces fresh ice cream.
"This is by far the best ice cream
in town," said Wallace as he

Chatham County melons might
not make you drool immediately.
But when topped with honey-mint
sauce, they just might.
Traditional Southern foods
emerge with a new twist at the
Fearririgton House Restaurant,
seven miles south of Chapel Hill
on U.S. 15-501.
The restaurant features the
"cuisine of the new South," general
manager Robert Cates said. "We're
taking the ingredients of the South
and using them in a creative and
innovative way."
One recent menu included grilled
yellowfin tuna with bourbon and
mustard butter and grilled chicken
breast with blackberry butter.
Dishes change nightly, since differ
ent foods arrive each day.
Brown-bagging of alcohol is
permitted at the Fearrington
House. Cates said average meals
cost $24 to $28 and took about two
hours to enjoy.
Indeed. Stenciled floors, fresh
flowers and ceiling fans invite
customers to take their time in the
restored 1925 farmhouse.
As part of Fearrington Village,
the restaurant shares a landscaped
hillside with a small post office and
The Market, a delicatessen, hard
ware and grocery store. Plans for
a 12-room bed and breakfast
establishment are scheduled to be
completed within the next year.
. Dinner guests often find their
way to Pringle Pottery next door,
where craftsman Jim Pringle said
his Fearrington House favorite was
trout. He added that as the one who
"sells the pots after the people have
Seafood
eaten," he only had compliments coct and experiment there. Chef

Swensen's offers an array of
house confections such as the gold
rush, coit tower and the earth
quake. One can gather with friends
there on the glassed-in porch for
sodas, freezes or a sandwich.
If you get an ice cream craving
but are far from Franklin Street,
have no fear. Bresler's in University
Mall offers 33 flavors and makes
sundaes and splits, topped with
your choice of butterscotch, hot
fudge, chocolate or strawberry
syrup. On the lighter side, Bresler's
has three flavors of frozen yogurt.
Two Franklin Street shops spe
cialize in frozen yogurt: the Yogurt
Pump, across from University
Square, and I Can't Believe It's
Yogurt, on West Franklin Street.
The Yogurt Pump offers four
flavors daily and a variety of
toppings, including carob chips,
coconout and chocolate-covered
malt balls.
I Can Believe It's Yogurt gives
credence to its name by serving
yogurt that tastes like ice cream
great for those who love ice cream
but don't love the calories.
When you've chosen ypur frozen
delight, you've completed the
hardest part of your leisurely stroll
down Franklin Street. Now all you
must do is walk slowly and mingle
with the famed Chapel Hill culture
and, if you've got time, check
out what ice cream everyone else
is eating.
