It's always a good time to enjoy ice cream. Need some places to check out? Take New York State's unofficial Ice Cream Trail.

We love ice cream in New York, it's no secret. One New York convenance store chain has won several awards at the Great New York State Fair. On Thursday, August 31st Stewart's Shops received awards at the New York State Fair highlighting their fresh, and local dairy products. Stewart's submitted their milk, flavored milk, and ice cream for Cornell University to sample. You can read the full scoop online here.
