"Eddie’s Sweet Shop is the oldest ice cream parlor in New York City, and it looks the part, with chandeliers, vintage wallpaper, and a pharmacy-like candy counter. Even in the 1950s, people probably came to this Forest Hills spot and thought, “How quaint.” The ice cream is old-fashioned too: big, dense scoops of classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla chip. If you enjoy a sundae, the Banana Royal is a massive pile of ice cream topped with whipped cream and sprinkles, and it’ll make you feel as if you’re in elementary school and you just won a spelling bee." - bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, kenny yang
