Milkbox Ice Creamery
Little Man scoops inside the station, with floats that take beer
A small window inside Union Station scooping Little Man Ice Cream, the LoHi operation whose flagship is shaped like a milk can. Seasonal flavors, sorbet and vegan options, made into shakes, sundaes and floats that can be built with beer or wine, which is the detail that separates it from every other ice cream counter in a train station. Open until nine every night. It is a stop rather than a destination, and the right last move after dinner at Mercantile or Ultreia a few doors down.
Why go. A beer float in a hundred-year-old train hall is a specific and good idea.
Ask for the float with beer rather than the standard shake; most people walk past without knowing it is offered.
