With the temperature in NYC getting warmer and expected highs tomorrow reaching 87 degrees Fahrenheit, our thoughts immediately go to having some cool ice cream 🍨.

One of the best places in NYC for #homemade ice cream is Eddie’s Sweet Shop in Queens. Previously called Witts Ice Cream Parlor, this Forest Hills classic was sold to the Citrano family in 1968. When we photographed this #storefront with its vintage Coca-Cola #privilegesign for our book "New York Nights" we also interviewed the fourth owner, Vito Citrano. Vito told us that “The entire interior of @eddiessweetshop including the marble counters, stained glass windows, tin ceiling and inlaid wood cabinetry is original. We still use some of the original owner’s recipes for our homemade ice cream 🍨 but we’ve added many of our own touches over the years .”
