Ice-cream at Bacino Bar @ Manly

Bacino Bar @ Manly has good ice-cream, especially the fig ice-cream. The café has a contemporary Italian touch, set on a plaza-like (public) space. In the absence of any town-design the public refuge in a fossil-fuel based, automobile-centred place turns out to be a traffic island, one is encircled by noisy, stinking traffic. Only the large weeping fig filters out some of the noise pollution. When they block off the road, put bike racks in and plant more trees, all the eateries could spill from the wharf to the beach. But till then, it's worth a try!
