Buy yourself and a pal a treat at this old fashioned ice cream parlor, located in Forest Hills, Queens at 105-29 Metropolitan Avenue Flushing, NY 11375. Eddie's specializes in classic ice cream specialties piled high with whipped cream with a cherry on top. It may feel like a time warp when you grab a seat at the counter and order up a creamy malted or a root beer float.
