In 1975, when attorney Bob Rook opened this side project —an eco-friendly ice cream parlor— he was working pro-bono on behalf of two homeless men. Those gents wanted him to name the shop after them (Donald & John), but Rook thought their last names made for a catchier moniker. And so it stayed.

The interior of most of E&Bs still harks back to the halcyon days of the late 1960s, laced with a funky, cosmic sense of design, when Peter Max reigned supreme. The hippie-dippy approach also manifests in organic and hormone-free ingredients in the more than 40 flavors of ice cream and the large selection of iceless smoothies. Flavors extend beyond organics and beyond the norm: The grasshopper pie incorporates créme de menthe liquor with Oreo chunks and chocolate flakes and the purple cow enriches black raspberry ice cream with white and dark chocolate chips and blueberries.

Adjusting to everybody's dietary needs, E&B also provides sugar-free, fat-free, low-fat, Splenda-sweetened and lactose-free options.
