Too sticky, melts too fast in the heat--ice cream is a lot more substantial and satisfying. But hey, it was a good landmark--I never had to give elaborate directions to anyone picking me up, they knew right where to go.Signed D.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11154056194616535241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-1440017385347998592008-09-02T22:01:00.000-04:002008-09-02T22:01:00.000-04:00Oh, Jeremiah, we all know that poor folks' treats ...Oh, Jeremiah, we all know that poor folks' treats will attract poor folks, and we can't have that, now, can we?<BR/><BR/>And we also know that such colorful treats attract, shall we say, colorful crowds, and what's the point of charging ever-higher prices to keep away the riff-raff if we are going to give mixed signals by offering their messy, pedestrian fare.<BR/><BR/>The only colorful folks welcome in the new park should be on the field, and they're well-payed colorful folk, so they're all right by us, in small numbers.<BR/><BR/>That said, I remove my tongue from my cheek to say that I do like Shake Shack's food, but if someone told me I had to choose between that and Aramark junk after paying my left testicle to see a game*, I'd most likely beat them over the head with an apropos wooden bat.<BR/><BR/>* the fact that I don't like watching sports is irrelevantL'Emmerdeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004040303058104490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-84858305644336058182008-09-02T19:44:00.000-04:002008-09-02T19:44:00.000-04:00When I was a kid it was a very special treat to ge...When I was a kid it was a very special treat to get ices from Lemon Ice King. I still get there whenever I can. However, you cannot write this article without noting the incredible Italian restaurant across the street, Parkview, which is filled with tables of men wearing a lot of jewelry, and a room upstairs devoted to Marilyn Monroe.<BR/><BR/>So, now you have two reasons to visit Corona and they are right next to each other!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362859175287085919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-84181586312518993662008-09-02T16:04:00.000-04:002008-09-02T16:04:00.000-04:00The ice had melted.The ice had melted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-72692508587636887842008-09-02T10:14:00.000-04:002008-09-02T10:14:00.000-04:00I used to love an Italian ice place like this (but...I used to love an Italian ice place like this (but with way fewer flavors) on 82nd St and 2nd Ave back in the early 70s - went there every day after school.Lidianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609618027313982020noreply@blogger.com
