Some places always remind you of childhood. Ice cream parlors are just such a place to us. There’s something so special about the colorful, retro decor, and, of course, the sweet treats that dwell inside. One nostalgic ice cream parlor in Connecticut that’s sure to make you feel like a kid again is Billy’s Old-Fashioned Ice Cream and Marketplace in Bethany. This place is an utter delight, with a homey, comfortable atmosphere, tasty desserts, and even wonderful “real food,” too, if you’re wanting a meal!

Billy's is the type of charming, friendly cafe that is becoming less and less common as the years go by. This place has been around since 1984.
