Today is Vienna's last day of Gelato. A sad and depressing day, yes, but this also means that anytime I see a gelato place that is still open today - especially if it has a "Letzter Tag" sign - then I am totally allowed to buy a cone. I have reached a count of three today: cookies, pistazie, and pralinetta.
The Viennese tradition of gelato is actually Italian, but the Viennese have fully embraced this amazing art form. Stand gelato is very good if you are passing by, but if you are seeking gelato, my two favorites are Eissalon an Schwedenplatz and Zanoni and Zanoni. Zanoni has very traditional gelato, more ice like, and Eissalon has extremely creamy gelato, more like ice cream.
Zanoni is open all year, but Eissalon is closing today! So Jessica and Jane are going to pick up a liter on the way home for our Mexican Thursday dinner tonight. My only consolation for the disappearing of the gelato is that means tomorrow is the first day of heat! No more wear coats in class!
Update: Us eating our gelato later in the week!
