Restaurants in Sandwich
Sweets -- Sweet tooth acting up? Stop by Sandwich's appropriately named Ice Cream Sandwich, at 66 Rte. 6A, across from the Stop & Shop (tel. 508/888-7237; www.icecreamsandwich.net), for a couple of scoops of the best local ice cream. Try the Cape Cod chocolate chunk. It's closed November through March. Sandwich's most classic ice cream shop is Twin Acres Ice Cream Shoppe, 21 Rte. 6A, Sandwich (tel. 508/888-0566), which specializes in soft-serve. With its red, white, and blue bunting, this place is right out of a Norman Rockwell illustration.
