Step into Spinning J and go back in time to when you could sip cream sodas with your pals while perched at the counter (which dates back to 1928), or tucked into a green leather booth. But at just $4 for a soda and $6 for a float (with a scoop of Zarlengo’s gelato), the prices thankfully haven’t quite caught up to modern times yet, even if the soda syrups have, featuring flavors made in-house like Thai Tea Egg Cream and Strawberry Rhubarb Phosphate. If you’re hungry try any of their pies, including the apricot sage cheesecake or key lime hibiscus ($5), or spring for the strata, a scrumptious savory bread pudding ($6). And that’s not even all — Spinning J also hosts BYOB pizza nights on Friday evenings, with rotating seasonal pies that rarely disappoint, just like the rest of the menu ($10 for a slice, salad and soda). Top it off with a scoop of gelato on a pie cone.
