Philadelphia Ranked 14th Best Ice Cream City In The Country

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – With another dreaded heat wave underway in Philadelphia, it's comforting to know that we live in one of the best American cities for ice cream.

So, what places beat out Philadelphia's cold treats? Savannah, GA came in first for its old school ice cream, followed by Providence and Nashville.
