"There aren’t too many true old-fashioned ice cream parlors left in New York City, but Egger’s has been holding on. Though located in a shopping center, it evokes just as much charm (and vintage goods) as a good ol’ soda shop from the ’50s. Patrons can sit at the mint green counter and order a sundae with creamy hand-churned ice cream served in a old-fashioned tin ice cream dish, with flavors changing seasonally. The hot fudge is homemade too, and dollops of whipped cream are spun fresh in a mixer throughout the day. There’s also plenty of old-school candy in glass jars. The shop was originally started by Mr. Richie Egger in 1932, though it moved to its present location in 1964, and it is currently owned by veteran employee Danielle Raleigh." - Claire Elisabeth
