Anopoli

On a sweltering summer day, ducking into Anopoli Ice Cream Parlor and Family Restaurant for a heaping sundae of homemade ice cream is the quintessential way to beat the heat in Bay Ridge. Melting into those gorgeously crafted green booths and soaking in the beauty of the tiled mosaic floors and carved woodwork of the 117-year-old diner, all while spooning decadent mouthful after mouthful of pistachio ice cream, and you’ll understand why everyone here—the waitstaff to the owners—are so darn content.
