Best Italian Cream Soda in NYC?

I'm not asking for a soda in a bottle. I'm asking for a soda fountain establishment (do they still exist?) that will make a classic italian cream soda that usually involves syrup, club soda and half n half.

A Strategy for Eating Outdoors in Cold Weather

Dude, you crack me up! I've gone twice in the freezing cold and I'll tell you two things: 1. The burger DOES taste better in the chill and 2. I won't be ordering an Orange Cremesicle until they install those heaters. Heat is key when it comes to consuming custard.

Cook the Book: 'Pure Dessert'

Blue velvet cupcakes, my twisted take on the classic Red Velvet... the cake is royal blue and the cream cheese icing is neon blue. Even after one bite, your mouth looks like it was mauled by a Smurf.

Where's everybody from?

My family lives on Oahu, HI so when I got visit, I go to Costco and Times supermarket if I have to but my heart belongs to Diamond Head Market. They make the best chicken curried salad EVER and when you hit the cash wrap, there are Spam Musubis right there for the taking. Pretty awesome!

Serious Sandwiches: The Japadog

I agree with Adam except I want one of all of them. I'm in drool mode. When are the Japadogs making a move to NYC???

Where's everybody from?

Astoria, Queens

Places I shop
1. Key Food or Associated markets are my main source food shopping sources.
2. Fresh Direct can get me anything I want (when they remember my order) from organic meat to TP. I use this during those weeks when I get out of work too late when the stores are closed and my fridge is bare.
3. The Farmers market in Union Square... it's a thing of beauty. Any farmers market makes me fall in love with food all over again. My favorite find was at the San Rafael Civic Center Farmers Markets in California where I became addicted to Jalapeno jelly spreads... put them on a cracker with cream cheese and you're in heaven!
4. Whole Foods in the cit-tay but the line usually scares me off.
