(This venue is closed.) The "ice cream" sign that beckoned from across Roosevelt suggested nothing more than what you'd expect from dozens of other neighborhood joints; frankly, I didn't take that good a look after I saw the freezer case of paletas ($1.25 each). In addition to the standard frozen-pop flavors, I had to choose from a half-dozen others including arroz (rice), nuez (walnut), grosella (currant), and nance ("yellow cherry," said the counterman). I settled on chamoy, a not-too-spicy blend of chili and an apricot-like fruit.
