You know you're from Long Island when - You know the importance of The Shores - and the one where you grew up is the BEST.

Jahn's--and The Kitchen Sink--was a popular spot for many years in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.

I had no idea until today that there were others elsewhere. I bet most people who remember it wouldn't know that, either.

Jahn's Ice Cream Parlor

According to Wikipedia - there is one last shop open in Jackson Heights, Queens NY

I remember seeing the kitchen sink being served to the next table from where my family sat. It was humongous!

It's nice reading and sharing a childhood memory, Jahn's.

Saw the Ducks play and also saw Styx there (in '78 I believe it was}.

Born in Hempstead ('56} and grew up in N Babylon.
