That’s some list, thanks for sharing! Admittedly, I’m a Yardley Ice House guy when I crave something sweet!

Thank you, for the list, much appreciated! And thank you, Cuz Jody for the Greenwood Dairies comments. I grew up in the Feltonville section of Philadelphia and sometimes my father would pile us into the 1950 Dodge and drive out to the country, up Route 1 to Greenwood. My brother once won the coveted “I Was a Pig At Greenwood Dairies” button after consuming that mega dish of ice creams. Great memory for me.

Greenwood Dairy. There’s a name from the past! I vaguely remember the name, but not any images. Guess I was too young! Thanks for the comment.

Sorry, Cuz’ — but 40 years ago ‘THE’ place for ice cream was Greenwood Dairy on Route 1. Every visit would find a selection of available ice cream flavors that differed from your last visit. Unsure what to get (what kid does)? Greenwood Dairy offered tastings long before anyone knew what a tasting was! And though Greenwood Dairy made an outrageous banana split sundae, my memories are all about their ice cream cones! For 25-cents, you were presented with a softball-size mound of ice cream that was balanced precipitously atop your cone of choice. There was an art to eating a Greenwood Dairy cone, too — and if you didn’t learn how at an early age, you’d be wearing (vs. eating) the ice cream.
ALSO, there’s a soft-serve ice cream drive-in (on Rte 13?) near the Levittown rail station (across from where the Levittown Shopping Center was located). When living in Levittown (40+ yrs ago), this drive-in used to sell soft-serve orange sherbert . . . OMG, a mixed cone w/ their chocolate soft-serve was to die for! I was in Levittown a few years ago, and the store that day was serving soft-serve raspberry sherbert. Same OMG response! Better yet, buy a quart each of their sherbert & ice cream and ‘kvell’ in the privacy of your own home!!!
Gotta go . . .
