Frequently asked questions
Is Eddie's worth the subway ride from Manhattan?
For lovers of old New York, absolutely. It is about 40 minutes on the express and there is no more intact parlor in the city.
What do I order at Eddie's?
A hot fudge sundae with their whipped cream. The egg cream is the other move, made properly at an actual fountain.
What else can I do in Forest Hills on the same trip?
Walk the storybook streets of Forest Hills Gardens next to the shop. Note that Eddie's keeps limited afternoon to evening hours, so check before you ride out.
