McKinley Park

After playing tennis with some friends yesterday at McKinley Park, nothing sounded better than some chilly ice cream after a heated match. Fortunately for us, we discovered one of the most delicious spots in Sacramento nearby: La Bombe Ice Cream & More.

La Bombe is a European-style ice cream parlor that serves over 20 different flavors of locally made Gunther’s ice cream, as well as salads, sandwiches and more. Their specialty, however, are their Les Bombe Glacés. The Les Bombe Glacés are domes of layered ice cream dolloped onto cookie wafers and topped with something sweet. You can pick a variety of flavors that will satisfy any craving.

I decided to purchase the special of the day: the Salted Caramel Affogatto. This creation was made with two scoops of their special salted caramel ice cream drenched in a shot of hot espresso. This treat melted in my mouth and was the perfect end to a long summer day. I plan to come back to La Bombe Ice Cream & More soon because I couldn’t get enough!

As most have probably heard, McKinley Park’s playground, the city’s beautiful wooden treasure for both children and adults alike, was set on fire last month by a suspected arsonist.
In an effort to help swiftly rebuild the playground, Ten 22 and The Firehouse (both part of the Harvego family of restaurants) are aiming to contribute $25,000 to get the playground back up and running.
Here’s what you can do to get involved: From Sunday, August 19 to Saturday, August 25, dine at either The Firehouse or Ten 22 and each restaurant will donate 15 percent of its profits earned toward City Councilman Steve Cohn’s recently established Gifts to Share Inc./Rebuild McKinley project.
