Second, you'll soon realize that ice cream is a big dealing on The Cape. Besides the jillions of soft-serv places dispensing chilled liquid linoleum, there are a select few spots that--in price, generosity and yumminess--put Steve's and Herrell's to shame. The best shop on The Cape is on 6A in Dennis village: The Ice Cream Smuggler, where the Oreo is flush with cookies and the Moch..
