North Fork, LI: Magic Fountain’s Divine Rum Raisin Ice Cream

Rum on the North Fork where wine is king? Well, not exactly.

But if you need an ice cream break while trawling the vineyards, stop by the Magic Fountain in Mattituck, Long Island and get yourself a scoop of the shop’s delicious rum raisin ice cream.

The Magic Fountain has perched on Route 25 (locally known as the Main Road) since 1966 when it originally opened as a Dairy Queen. Today, you can get a cone of soft serve or tuck into about 50 flavors of hard pack ice cream. If rum raisin isn’t your thing, try other old timey flavors like Maple Walnut or Cherry Vanilla.
