My favorite Ice Cream isn't flashy and doesn't have a 30-minute wait to sit down (although it should). It takes me back to what I envision my parents experienced when they went to their old ice cream parlors in the 50's and 60's as kids. In fact, the place that serves my favorite ice cream was opened in the 1900's - so they actually went there when they grew up which is great to experience the generational connection.
Eddie's Sweet Shop in Forest Hills, Queens is by far my favorite Ice Cream in the city, and
the world for that matter. They make all of their own ice cream, they are very liberal with all of their portions and the place still looks the same since it was first opened. Eddie's isn't a place you go to just to get a scoop and walk around Metropolitan Avenue. You would go there and sit down to take in all the nostalgia of another era. An era where you can order a shake and get 16oz. as well as the extra amount that didn't fit in the glass served to you in a separate glass. They use original malt from powder for the authentic taste. They make their own syrups. They make their own condiments. It's a throwback where you actually need to go there for the quality of the ice cream first, and the ambiance as a compliment.
So, if you want some great traditional ice cream the Katz's have been going to since they were a Hershkowitz and a Katz, make a visit to Eddie's Sweet Shop - I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
