You know it's summer on St. Paul's East Side when the Dari-ette Drive Inn opens. Burn rubber (legally, of course) and left-lane it over to cash in on today's deal: Get $12 of soft-serve ice cream and Italian sandwiches for just $6.

Try it on the meatball sandwich or the Italiano. Or go retro with traditional drive-in fare (think hamburgers, malts, and onion rings). Yes, we're hopelessy devoted.
