I absolutely loved the belt-driven ceiling fans they have in there. I
had a chocolate egg-cream when I went. I'll definitely be back.

Yeah I dunno...maybe they just liked you better :-) Or were out of
larger plastic cups. Either way, I'll definitely try again.

That's weird. My rootbeer float, a little while back, was the size of a
large iced latte, with a good-sized scoop of ice cream.

So I went over there yesterday to get something cold and refreshing to
drink on my walk back to my place. I got a root beer float with vanilla
ice cream to go. It was pretty good but my only complaint was the size
for the price. It was in a plastic cup about the size of a styrofoam
coffee cup with barely one scoop of ice cream. This was $4. I finished
it in about about a block and half of walking...

Next time I will try the ice cream sundaes.

They were on Fox news again this morning. Maybe they'll be featured
regularly, like the deli downstairs from the David Letterman show?

it's a pretty neat place. the sodas, etc. the ice cream was
disappointing (I think it's the overrated bassett'swhich is far from
old fashioned) but the rest was pretty cool.

This is an excellent place! The owners really know their history, know
their ice cream, and are happy to have a nice conversation with you
about it.

I stumbled upon it while walking around the area with a few friends and
we were sucked in. Everything was delicious! Can't say enough good
things, but then again it is ice cream - yum!
