Happy National Ice Cream Cone Day!  Not that any one needs an excuse to enjoy ice cream, but if you do, we have five places in Nashville to help celebrate one of the tastiest food holidays all year.

1. Mimi’s Ice Cream and Coffee Shoppe

Conveniently located near the Opryland Hotel and Opry Mills mall, Mimi’s Ice Cream and Coffee Shoppe offers both conventional flavors like Cookies & Cream, Rocky Road and Butter Pecan, along with unique creations, like their Strawberry Cheesecake and Smoky Mountain Fudge. Bonus: their prices are super affordable, with cones starting at just $3.75. Talk about a deal …
