Ice cream (and related products such as granita, frappé, ice pop) is not really fast food, at least it was hardly intended as such (in Italy) until the last few decades, and many continue not to see it as fast food. Otherwise amenity=fast_food would have been right. Plus, while there are cafés (amenity=cafe) serving authentic ice cream (ice_cream=yes?), most places we (in Italy) call ‘gelateria’ (ice cream parlour) just aren't cafés (there's little or no place to sit down, for instance...). Neither they mostly work as shops, although one can buy a ‘box’ of ice cream and take it home (so they are not more of a shop than fast food are)... > (By the way, nobody seems to have brought up the existence of frozen > yogurt places and whether these fit into the new tag.) They should fit in my opinion (perhaps cuisine=frozen_yogurt), as they work similarly. -- Luca _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
