Here Be Barr nice bro and love you bro
They should bring those type of places back. That make for a great place to hangout with friends
I live down the street from this place. I absolutely love it 😍
my grandma has always told me about the times when she would go get a soda from the fountain. of course, I thought it was just a normal soda and she was like "oh noooo a soda!!! like a chocolate soda!!" she could never really explain to me what it was and I was always so confused😂😂and I just remembered the stories and decided to look up what it actually was
Nice video! Although I wasn't alive for the heyday of soda fountains (born in 1974) I did grow up with rotary phones, party lines, and homemade ice cream lol. And my town had a soda fountain...called Spagnola's, in downtown Howell, MI.
Early egg creams used an invert acid syrup mixed with egg white that reacted with the calcium carbonate in the seltzer. (And they didn't start using chocolate but vanilla as the main favor.) The egg white suspended in the syrup helped make a creamier head that lasts in the glass longer than the Brooklyn/chocolate version made here-though the latter is good too. I've taught cooking classes making these early syrups to help students remember this part of Americana.
Nice to see you and Adriana “going steady” (couldn’t resist busting out the phrase from that era)
hahahaha good word.
I'm a huge vintage fan. The older, the better! Glad to see there are places like this still around. Once they're gone, they're gone forever. And yes, I used a rotary phone back in the 80's when they were getting phased out. :-)
hahaha.. i'm a big vintage fan to.
If you're wondering if they survived the pandemic, Google says they open at 2pm today so I guess so. Since I live 40 minutes away I definitely wanna make the trip to try this place. It looks awesome!
Growing up late 70's early 80's middle of the Midwest there was a pharmacy with soda fountain been there since 20's had lots of sodas and shakes all the sandwiches came with pickle spears
Sounds awesome.
Yes I would and I did growing up in the 70's in jersey city sadly those places are long gone
Like the one on Court House Place a block down from the Projects! No pharmacy, just soda fountain!
There were still a fair number around in the 80s. I remember ordering a black and white pretty frequently. It definitely would be worth the trip. Great video.
Thanks John !
Grew up with a rotary phone because I was raised by my grandparents. I’m 39 and I still got a landline! I’m definitely going here when I come up for Yankees opening day this year! I live in the country down in NC. We have a few soda shop drugstores too.
Soda fountains used to be pretty common place , kind of like lunch counters / diners in department stores. I've only had an egg cream once, a couple years back at a soda fountain in Wenatchee WA. It was fine but wasn't in danger of becoming a favorite lol. As for the rotary phone - that's all I knew as a kid, and at that point in time we didn't need to worry about including area codes when dialing. It was strictly seven digits when calling locally. Just the sound of the rotary dial in action makes me nostalgic.
One of my favorite 80’s disco/funk songs in the background. S.O.S. Band - Take Your Time!
Great… I will visit. Yes, I grew up with a rotary phone.
Really cool to see a place like that.
Thank you so much for your videos. I planned our NY trip from Germany watching your channel. My wife and i had a great time here!
Dankeschön :-)
Dankeschön to you !!
I literally love your videos!!!
I'm going to go eat that grill cheese sandwich and that milkshake tonight ... I've been living in NYC for 4 years and I always look for new places to eat, that's why I follow your channel, excellent...
Love your videos so much. Grew up using that phone and adding machine next to it. I miss the mom & pop stores.
Great video, I will definitely check this place out!
just came to check up on how Adrianas doing glad to see you having fun in the cold weather lol
We still have these in TN so this is the one place I would not pay to travel to but always love a good soda fountain (I did love those years)
Thank you for another great video. Keep them coming. I remember the rotary phones.. LOL
LOL at #TeamAdriana all bundled up. Cool you got to make the egg cream. Fire up my Delorean, take me there!
Actually, it would make an excellent episode for your channel. If you come to NYC.
#TeamAdriana Yesss! Freezing outside!? D'oh. 😉❄️
That rotary phone is a design classic, the Western Electric Modell 500, designed by Henry Dreyfus.
I have it in my showroom and it's working perfecly.
Greetz from Frankfurt, Germany 😊
This place is now on my list. Thanks
You're welcome
this is really awesome if you ask me
There’s an old school spot, Eddie’s Sweet Shop in Forest Hills, Queens that you would enjoy!
Sounds like my jam.
I second that! Eddie's is awesome!
I grew up in the Bronx and we had a couple of soda fountains in the neighborhood then. I loved egg creams!. But I'm sure the soda jerk added the chocolate syrup as one of the first steps, before adding the seltzer, and he used lots more of that U-Bet too! Throw ice cream into an egg cream and you've got an ice cream soda. Ice cream added to a milkshake or malted was called a "float." In the summer, a great thirst quencher was called a "lime rickey."
That sounds so good !!
Have added this to our itinerary for our first nyc trip..😀😀
Awesome !!
love you bro and love you new yourk city
I would definitely like to check that place out when I get there😁... 14 more weeks 🙌😁
I’m from Germany and never knew what a soda fountain might be, but what John showed us, makes me wanting to check out that one in Brooklyn!!
Thanks
First, I am cracking up with Adriana and that scarf across her face. 😀. Oh, that place looks fabulous! I miss egg creams. I used to go into our local “spas” , as we called them, all of the time. I would have an egg cream or a chocolate coke. I miss those days and would definitely be a regular at that farmacy if I were there. Great atmosphere. The food looks great too. As for the rotary phones, 😊 there is a video showing two teens today trying to figure it out and couldn’t. Must be nice just sitting there looking at the past.
Wonderful video
Nice Vid....Adriana already acting like she's married at the end....HAHA!!
🤔
love you bro
👍So cool....dang now that's another place I need to go when I'm there next😂
:)
@@HereBeBarr so this gave me a possible idea for a video you could do...perhaps go try one of those insane looking crazy shakes from Black Tap??😁🙏
Dopeee
Shalomm
I love you usa and new yourk city bro
The genuine Egg Cream is seltzer and Fox's real chocolate syrup, period.
Did customers drop off their prescription, have a bite to eat while waiting for their prescription to be filled? This would be great to have again.
That place is fucking awesome
Miss those places. A Chocolate Soda few people know how to make.
:) The black and white milk shake was my favorite.
Hi, michael shannon was here 5:55
Look at Golum in the back at 3:05.
Sadly... Pootube buried you and many others in my subscription box, so, I just enabled notifications and I AM GOING TO 'FIRST' one of your videos before Tony gets in there 🙊
John, please let me use some of your wide knowledge about NYC. I'm currently divided between booking a place on Brooklyn vs a place on South Bronx.
The 1st one is about 50 minutes away from midtown (by subway).
As most of our visit interests (as first time visitors) are in mid/uptown, do you think the distance is a big problem?
Thanks in advance, your content is helping me A LOT!
Where in Brooklyn? South Bronx has some rough spots.. I'd lean on Brooklyn but don't know the neighborhood. 50 min by subways a hike. you should consider New Jersey , near a bus line as well if you're not going to be staying out late.
@@HereBeBarr to be more precise, we're talking about Flatbush vs Mott haven.
For comparisons sake, look up Secaucus NJ, Rutherford, NJ. i think would be quicker to midtown and safer..
I think there's an old one in Queens too (by Rego park) lets all go together and check it out :P
hahahah lets do it
Next time in Phoenix... hit up McAlpines!
Sounds good !!
I don't know if it's because I'm a ignorant individual or it's just because I'm not American, but...I honestly haven't understood what the first drink is...nor a soda fountain in general 🤔 Can somebody enlighten me?
Egg cream is a famous drink specifically in nyc . Made of milk 🥛 seltzer , and chocolate syrup . A soda fountain was a cafe many times mixed w a pharmacy where you could go eat lunch or small meals and get milk shakes , dessert and egg creams !
I had no idea at all. Thanks Jon!
5:38 of course i can use it.
You said the egg cream was "not bad," instead of delicious or excellent?❓
Ahaha when I was a kid those phones were still pretty common in Italy, and you used it only once in your life?? How old are you Jon? I was born in 1990 and I clearly remember when we had one of those at home 😊
🤐🤐🤐 to old
WE are the old ones, as a country! 🤪
Well, in US those old rotary phones were started to get phased out back in the late 60s.
@@manchesterunitedno7 We really are in the old continent :D
"My mouth is in Heaven". Well, she has a heavenly mouth.
what the hell were you eating at about 6:00 in this video? i cannot figure it out and it looked interesting
Chocolate chip cookie 🍪
@@HereBeBarr wait, a giant chocolate chip cookie on a plate was not a traditional soda fountain treat. if you tell me i'm wrong i will be impressed.
FIRST!!
you win 1 barrio point, 10 and you get a free taco at Los Tacos No. 1
So, I’m still unsure what a Soda Fountain is. Where’s the fountain?
Do they make cherry cokes?
Pretty sure they do. check the menu online.
Yet in Heaven, no milkshakes
Have you heard of a vlogger called Erik conover
Yep, fellow NYC Vlogger.
Let me tell you what happened next. The state health inspector shows up. They talk to Skip. He says he's got a sump pump problem. They leave.
The guy's got a sewer problem. He says he'll look after it. Everything's okay, right? Wrong. A couple hours later there's smoke pouring out of the windows of Skip's house. The firemen go in. Know what they find? Skip's family, dead. Murdered. by Skip, weeks earlier with an ice pick.
Yeah, the guy killed his whole family. With an ice pick, Yeah, just put 'em in the cool basement, covered 'em up with a sheet and went back to makin' treats for the townsfolk. Only Skip didn't count on there being a big heat wave that summer. You know what all those people were smelling on Elm, whew weeeee. Skip's family's bodies, decomposing in the summer heat. Apparently, one day Skip made one-too- many lemon phosphates. El snappo.
It's a shame that places like this have virtually disappeared from the American scene since the '50s when franchised restaurants popped out of nowhere.
No sharing ...Adriana your too much!
jajajajaja
Oh I wonder if the governor has put that place out of business because of Cove at 19
bro please visit India bro
One day !
Here Be Barr thank you bro
4:44 Jordan sparks....nah...
