Create A Cone
If you love ice cream anywhere near as much as I do, you definitely can’t go to Atlantic City without stopping at Create a Cone. It’s on the main floor of the Tropicana, a few steps from the beach and next to Hooters. I’m not lying when I say that I went there EVERY night while there. This little ice cream counter has been around for a few years; the last time I went to Atlantic City with my family I tried it for the first time. It’s kind of like Coldstone, but better. You get to choose your ice cream flavor and the toppings you want mixed in with it, but you know how when they mix the toppings into Coldstone ice cream, the consistency gets kind of soft, weird, and gooey? Well that doesn’t happen with Create A Cone ice cream. It’s also cheaper than Coldstone, another plus.
My favorite combination is Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream with hot fudge and Reeses cups. So good. Also, it’s open late every night, so it’s the perfect place to stop when you get sick of losing money in the slots.
The Beach Bar
Whether you just want a few tropical drinks on hot day, or you want to party the night away under the starts, the Beach Bar located across from the Trump hotel and casino is the place to be. The entire bar is outside and sits on a large wooden deck, on top of the sand, overlooking the ocean. It has two bars, and a large amount of tables where guests can sip a drink, enjoy some food, and soak up some sun.
While watching the Travel Channel over the summer, I saw a show called something like “The worlds 21 sexiest beach bars.” This beach bar was featured on the show, and I just knew I would have to go there. I love the travel channel, and when they rate something as one of the best of its kind, I believe them.
Featured on the Travel Channel
Greg, my sister, her boyfriend, and I went to the Beach Bar for lunch one afternoon because it’s most likely 21 plus at night. Since I was already 21, I got some fruity, frozen drink, which was refreshing, and we all got sandwhiches. For what you get, the food is a little on the pricey side. Also they don’t have free tap water! I’ve never been to a restaurant that doesn’t have free water, so that’s definitely a negative. The three of them each ended up getting a tiny bottle of water for over $3.00 each. A little ridiculous. The food was good, though, and my sandwich was definitely filling.
Finally, next time you’re in Atlantic City you definitely HAVE TO eat breakfast at Country Kitchen. Located at the Days Inn next to the Tropicana, the Country Kitchen has the best breakfast around. Their pancakes are absolutely amazing; they taste like they’re made with cake batter. Nothing starts a fun filled day better than a hearty breakfast.
Any other Atlantic City favorites?

I can’t talk about ice cream without mentioning Cold Stone « Scoops and Sundaes
[...] ago, though. I remember the first time I had ice cream that’s similar to Cold Stone was at Create a Cone in my hotel in Atlantic City probably 5 or 6 years ago. I wrote about my love for Create a Cone [...]
