Retro Restaurants: 8 Of The Best Throwback Dining Spots In NYC

1940's Malt Shoppe

Did your Grandparents ever take you to Baskin Robbins and tell you stories of the dessert shops they used to go to, where they would sit on a spinning stool at a marble counter, order soda pop out of a fountain, and slurp down huge, chocolate milkshakes with a cherry on top?  Well, now you can experience a little gem remnant of your grandparents "good ol’ days" at Eddie's Sweet Shop in Flushing. The menu has all the old time favorites, from banana splits, to floats, to shakes, to egg creams, to sodas, and of course sundaes with delicious homemade ice-cream. Be sweetly transported back to the Norman Rockwell years at this vintage dessert mecca.   [Photo via]
