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 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.
