"old style soda fountain https://culinarybackstreets.com/cities-category/queens/2023/eddies-sweet-shop-3/ When a streetcar ran down Queens’ Metropolitan Avenue in the first half of the 20th century, soda fountains like Eddie’s Sweet Shop were commonplace in big cities and small towns across America. Today, this hundred-year-old corner gem on Metropolitan in the leafy, Tudor-style enclave of Forest Hills is one of the last of its kind left in the country, and it certainly shows its vintage. On summer afternoons, Eddie’s still fills up with crowds of happy Queens kids, and the diversity of the clientele reminds you that fortunately, it’s not the 1920s anymore. The shop itself, though, is practically unchanged – every piece of equipment behind the counter, from the shiny Frigidaire to the tiny metal cabinet hand-painted with the words “hot fudge,” could be from a museum. “The fridge is one of the first electric fridges,” owner Vito Citrano explains. “It’s about 80 years old, and some of the dishware is just as old.” The neon “SODA” sign out front, the subway-tile floors, and the worn, spindly, less-than-comfortable wooden stools that line the counter also suggest another era. Vito, whose father Giuseppe bought the place in 1968, says that it’s getting harder to maintain all of these details, but he views Eddie’s as “part of history,” a landmark that’s his job to maintain. The soda fountain is an American tradition he reveres, and nothing is more important than the frozen treats themselves. The counter at Eddie's, photo by Ike Allen Ice cream concoctions like the banana split or the hot fudge sundae are classics here, and you’ll see one at almost every table of kids. With around 20 ice cream flavors and a wide array of toppings, you can also build your own sundae – and you’ll want it with whipped cream. The homemade whipped cream at Eddie’s, spooned out of a big container, is both fluffy and substantial, and almost as tasty as the ice cream itself. Some old-fashioned soda fountain specialties are favorites among an older crowd who can’t find them anywhere else: Ice cream sodas, consisting of seltzer mixed with ice cream, syrup and milk in a tall glass, are like carbonated milkshakes. Eddie’s also serves a great rendition of the New York egg cream, a classic treat made with neither egg nor cream, but with seltzer, syrup and milk. Its inexplicable name may have originated with the Yiddish word ech – genuine or real – rather than “egg.” All of the syrups are made in-house, and as in the fountains of yore, you can get a root beer or cherry coke mixed to order with syrup and seltzer. When we arrived one afternoon, Vito was busy making ice cream and syrups in the basement while the orders kept flowing in upstairs. It’s not the easiest way to do things, but that’s exactly what gives Eddie’s its charm. The chocolate fudge sundae at Eddie's, photo by Ike Allen Eddie’s is a genuine period piece of a soda fountain, but its story is somewhat shrouded in myth. For one thing, there was never any “Eddie.” Although the shop has been open since at least 1925, the name only dates back to the ‘60s, when Giuseppe Citrano took over the business. “Eddie’s is just the name my Dad decided to call the store,” Vito says. “It was Witt’s before us.” Exactly what year Witt’s was founded is unclear, but it was certainly in the 1910s or 20s. By the time the Citrano family took over, the ice cream parlor already had serious nostalgia value, so they didn’t change a thing. Vito grew up in the store, learning the ice cream business from his father, who had immigrated from Italy. Although he’s worked some other jobs in his time, he always felt the pull of Eddie’s. “You have an Italian dad, you work in the family business,” he says. These days, an enduring ice cream parlor like Eddie’s brings in all kinds, from loyal older neighborhood characters with a sweet tooth to kids on their way home from the Kew-Forest School or PS101. You’ll occasionally overhear newcomers asking if they have flavors like salted caramel, mango, or rocky road – they don’t. Eddie’s is a taste of another time, and that’s just how Vito, and his many loyal customers, like it."

"We only recently learned that Eddie’s Sweet Shop is the oldest ice cream parlor in New York City - but, in retrospect, this makes sense. With its chandeliers, vintage wallpaper, and pharmacy-like candy counter, this place looks as though it hasn’t changed in the past 90 years. In the 1950s, people probably came here and thought, “How quaint.” More importantly, however, this Forest Hills spot serves big scoops of dense, classic ice cream flavors, and their Banana Royal is a massive pile of ice cream topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. It’ll make you feel as if you’re in elementary school and you just won a spelling bee."
