Refreshing: a freezer case that's not filled with the same old brand names. This casual Peruvian restaurant stocks its own housemade ice pops flavored with passion fruit, coconut, soursop, lucuma, and strawberry. Mine was dense enough that after unknotting the wrapper (you might manage with deft fingernails, but I relied on my pocketknife), I could peel back the plastic and take a bite without fear of drips. Some say that lucuma (also shown in closeup; $1), a fruit native to the Pacific Coast of South America, tastes like maple. I think butterscotch.
