We can try to blame it on the sun, but let’s be honest: That sweet tooth longs for ice cream, rain or shine. Sometimes you want a fancy flavor conjured by an alchemist devising unlikely combos; sometimes you just want a fat scoop of a simple one-word classic. Whether you crave a trendy or traditional cool-down, you’re in the right place because these BARTable ice creameries around the Bay will keep your cup or cone more than half full.

Railfans and foodies alike will find good reason to visit the southernmost BART stop on the Peninsula — Millbrae. Experience a railroad museum, a year-round farmers' market that offers everything from flowers to fresh vegetables and fruits and bread, an old school butcher shop, and a family-owned Vietnamese restaurant serving yummy comfort food. It's all just steps from the Millbrae BART station.

Whatever you do and wherever you go, the weekend is upon us - take it in and enjoy it to the fullest!
