During yesterday's stroll T and I discovered Eddie's Sweet Shop, a 95-year-old establishment that serves homemade ice cream. We decided this required further investigation and stopped inside for a quick snack.





The place looks like something out of the 1950s. The counter is made of old marble, and you can have your ice cream there, if you don't prefer a table in the rear. My first thought when I saw it was, "This place has character!"





The ice cream is homemade. Of course, we had to sample it. It was delicious, and because it is homemade, the ice cream was not overly sweet.



It's a good thing I had the rest of the way home (about a mile, maybe a little more) to walk off that hot fudge goodness. :-)

We keep passing by that, but have never gone in! Maybe we'll stop in one day when we take R for a stroll...

Oh, geez. Pennsylvania is a big dairy state (most people, even in PA, don't know that) and it seemed as though, no matter where we lived, there was a dairy farm within thirty minutes, and it always had a store that sold fresh milk and homemade ice cream. It was always a big treat, because it wasn't really close enough to go for regular milk purchases. But, oh, homemade chocolate chip or mint chocolate chip ice cream! Absolutely the best.

Syracuse had Byrne Dairy. Though the milk cost a little more, I would buy their bottled milk every week. And in March they would sell minty, green milk for St. Patrick's Day. Yum!

Green milk? That's certainly interesting. I love all these pics you took, and that pic of ice cream has given me big ice cream cravings.

We have a place here like that called Margie's Candies. And I swear, if it wasn't being WINTER outside, I'd go right now!

How wonderful! It looks utterly delicious. :)

Where is it located? Matt's in New York right now, and I'd love to give him the location so he can go have homemade ice cream.
