Klavon’s Ice Cream Parlor in Pittsburgh’s Strip District is offering century-old pricing discounts to ring in the new year, for two days only.

Remember that diet resolution you swear to uphold in 2020? Press pause for a day or two.

Klavon’s Ice Cream Parlor, at 2801 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, is offering to help you spend a little less money on a tempting calorie splurge Jan. 2-3.

For two days only, the 1920’s-era ice cream parlor is turning back the clock to the days when ice cream cones cost 1 cent, sundaes cost 5 cents, and banana splits could be indulged in for 10 cents.

Klavon’s will honor those prices for two days to welcome in the new year, and as a tribute to this century’s “Roaring ’20s,” with what it calls an “ice cream cleanse.”

We're turning back the clock in 2020, to 1920s prices! Forget your New Year’s resolutions—try an “ice cream cleanse” instead! We'll return to the days when ice cream cones cost a penny, five cents for a sundae, a dime for a banana split on January 2nd and the 3rd 2020! pic.twitter.com/bRhsAjwipT

“We’re happy to celebrate the new decade with something as timeless as ice cream in a shop that has seen more than a century of changes,” says Klavon’s Ice Cream Parlor owner Jacob Hanchar.

The shop first opened in 1923 as a neighborhood apothecary and ice cream shop. After closing in 1979, it was reopened with some of its original features in 1999, preserving the old ice cream parlor design.
