I’m so excited. Little Man Ice Cream has opened in the uber-hip LoHi! As 5280 Magazine writes, …housed just behind Lola in Lower Highland, Little Man is both a drop-in neighborhood spot and a landmark destination. Neighbors wander over for the handmade ice cream, gelato, and sorbetto, but it’s Little Man’s building that’s worth the drive. Rounded and bent into the shape of a 1920s steel creamery can, it recalls the era of hot-dog-shaped concession stands and drive-in diners. There’s no indoor seating, so grab a cone and a seat on the patio. Or, better yet, take a stroll through the neighborhood. Rumor has it that once winter hits, Little Man will pop its creamery top, drop in a ladle, and start serving soup, chili, and grilled-cheese sandwiches. Daily 11 a.m.-11 p.m. 2620 16th St., 303-455-3811.

Also open in the same hip ‘hood is Red Trolley Ice Cream. Although I haven’t been yet, word on the street about this spot is great too. Not only do they have ice cream, but great goodies too, and nice indoor seating for those hot summer nights. Sunday - Thursday 11 am - 10pm, Friday & Saturday 11 am - 11pm. 2639 W. 32nd Ave., 303-433-7200.
