Benfaremo- The Lemon Ice King Of Corona

21 Best Outdoor-Dining Picks in NYC 2019

"The blue-and-white–awned Lemon Ice King is a beachy, year-round ritual: an old handwritten menu of 50 flavors, a sign that reads “We do not mix or exchange ices,” and a traditionalist-vs.-insider flavor hierarchy (lemon if you’re old-school, peanut butter if you’re in the know, fruit cocktail if you’re following Sinatra). Peter Benfaremo started it in 1944, spoons are apparently for amateurs, and I like to grab an ice and cross the street to watch bocce at leafy William F. Moore (Spaghetti Park), especially at night when the park glows romantically." - Grub Street
