In 1919, 3 Greek brothers, George, Peter and Basil Leopold, started a Savannah ice cream tradition called Leopold’s, of course.
The shop lives on today revived by Stratton (Peter’s youngest), now a Hollywood producer.
Besides the popular malts and shakes, there’s black and white or cherry smash sodas, huckleberry sundaes and unique ice cream flavors: lemon custard, bee honey almond, rum bisque and their popular tutti frutti, made famous by a Johnny Mercer song.
While scoffing it all down, enjoy the walls decorated with Stratton’s movie posters (The Big Chill, The Sum of all Fears, Close Encounters), the case of collectibles from Mission:Impossible 3, and a real live Panavision R-200 movie camera.
Think of all those lucky Hollywood stars – Stratton usually flies the ice cream in to wherever they are shooting.
