"Founded in 1925 (and the wooden fixtures and antique soda fountain show it), but named Eddie’s only since 1967, this icon right on Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills is perhaps most famous for its ice cream, but it also sells an assortment of packaged candies (Laffy Taffy and Nerds among them) in addition to chocolates made right on the premises." - Robert Sietsema

"Hanging out in this old-school ice cream shop (which has been around for roughly a century) feels like going through a time warp to an era when you could smoke on airplanes and watch The Monkees on TV. You’re here for an ice cream sundae with classic toppings like whipped cream, hot fudge, and sprinkles—and while these come in a few different sizes, you should probably get the largest one, with three scoops. Buy one for someone before asking if they want to go steady." - molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, bryan kim, matt tervooren

"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

"Eddie’s Sweet Shop boasts 90-year-old architecture and antique interior decor. Marble counters and spinning stools, wooden cashbox, mosaic tiles, a candy display and a 75-year-old fridge adorn the shop. Ice cream, syrups, toppings, and whipped cream are all home made. Eddie’s brings you a taste of Americana and its vintage charm is something to savor." - Rachel Kaminetzky & Nicole David

"Open since 1925, Eddie’s Sweet Shop is said to be New York’s oldest ice cream parlor. Don’t expect hipster scoops mixed with miso and gooseberry: This Queens institution specializes in simple flavors (coffee, maple walnut, and vanilla fudge) served in cones or in towering sundaes with “the works” (hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry). The 18 flavors offered here are still made from the same recipe." - Eater Staff
