Soda Shop Date


Last weekend, the husband and I had an old-fashioned date at Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain. The building is a restored 1920s pharmacy and has all the charm and authenticity of an old school soda shop. It was a hot one, perfect for a vanilla milkshake and an egg cream (milk, seltzer and chocolate syrup) with a scoop of ice cream on the side. Their menu also features loads of sundaes, housemade sodas and even grilled cheese sandwiches. Just the right blend of adorable and cool.

  4. Aw! This is too sweet! Reminds me of a place I used to go to in my hometown of Garlnd, TX. It was a little pharmacy place too...though not as cool as NY haha.
