I miss the fountain shops. Its so hard to find a good egg cream now a days. I used to work at an Old Jewish Deli and I started making Egg Creams there. I ordered the old fashioned seltzer bottles and everthing. And of course I used Fox's Ubet chocolate syrup!

As well as a genuine lime rickey. Manny's Luncheonette (13 Avenue off 40 Street in Brooklyn) is said to be one of the few remaining places where you can get the real thing. |

Try Eddie's Sweet Shop in Forest Hills! 72nd Rd. and Metropolitan Ave. One of the very few left and it's worth every penny. |

You can get a free car wash (by which we mean an open fire hydrant) all over upper Manhattan too. A good place is on Manhattan Avenue around 102nd Street and of course there are tons in East Harlem and the Heights. I tend to back up and forth a few times if my car is dusty..  |

Are they purses? Are you talking about drugs? Next would be a nickle bag followed by a dime? |

Bingo  . Tray bags were the $3 bags of weed. Its just funny how cheap things were back then. Akin to the 75 cent slice of pizza and cheap tokens.
Anyone hang out on specific a corner or park while growing up here? A whole group of us, sometimes 25 kids, used to hang out on 90th street and First Avenue across the street from the gas station that is no longer there. Fun times.. Let's just say my daughter wont be growing up here. |
