El Palacio de los Cholados

Drink, or dessert? You'll be handed both a straw and a spoon with your cholado, a Colombian concoction that's assembled like a snow cone — shaved ice is drizzled with fruit syrup and soaked with condensed milk — then freighted with a fruit salad that might include berries, banana, cantaloupe, pineapple, and whatever else is on hand. The especial ($5), I gathered, has a little extra of everything.
