97-Year-Old NYC Diner Still Serves Their Coke the Old Fashioned Way

[TURTLEORIGINAL]

I’m a 54 year old man, and I was fortunate enough to experience this still being a practice and being done, in a few of our old, “ mom & pop” pharmacies; where the pharmacist owned his own pharmacy, knew everyone that came in by first name, etc. Now, those days are mostly gone, along with the wonderful nostalgia that went with them; the true “Penny candy”, etc. I sure do miss those days! There used to be a candy bar my mom would buy me once in a blue moon, called, Marathon Bar; it was an actual 12” long flat braid looking chocolate coated caramel candy bar, for only 25 cents! I researched them the other day, and they got renamed, “Curly Wurly”by Cadbury candy company. They are also very small now, compared to the foot long, one inch wide bars in the 70’s!

Soda fountains will never be uncool to me

I miss coming to this diner is one of the most authentic old school diners or candy however you want to call it you will ever visit in New York City 💞

I would treat myself to that but I think it's the same as rootbeer, cream soda, or Vanilla Coke. A rootbeer float is practically a dessert like a milkshake.

I just did that with my ice cream and soda. It's delicious. A little creamy but delicious.

If you want something like this on the West Coast, Ice Cream Bar in San Francisco is amazing.

[motherland]

Been there during my trip to NYC. Doesn't taste that good tho - looks better than it actually is.

[ezzzen]

As a fan of cherry coke I can tell you that looks good

[Teddy]

Awww man. Why can't I live next door to this place?

[ismarwinkelman]
