Dear Yankee | September/October 2022

First-Class Delivery

Your July/August cover is the best cover photo of any magazine ever! As I am a letter carrier on the Cape, I was delivering many Yankee magazines along my route, and the ice cream photo had my mouth watering the entire day. Props to you for this “best cover photo ever” achievement.

Inside Scoops

After moving to Wisconsin from New Hampshire in 2017, we have continued to subscribe to Yankee. We love the articles and reading about our home state and region. But I was disappointed that your “36 Best Ice Cream Shops” [July/August] did not mention Sullivan Farms in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts, which we discovered on our Nashua Trader Joe’s runs. Our favorite was mocha chip because they’re one of the few places that actually make the ice cream mocha, not just coffee. We’re sure you can get someone on the staff to check it out—the quality of this delicious ice cream will bring them back many times.

Somehow you missed Maine’s most delicious ice cream, Gifford’s, which began as a dairy farm. My husband and I think it’s the best.

You missed the best ice cream shop in America, in little Watch Hill, Rhode Island: The St. Clair Annex!
