Thanks for helping!!! Thu Dec 23 15:23:49 -0800 2004 0 Janie 1 1300164 "Ripley's Believe It or Not" would say: JAHN'S -there's one left in Richmond Hill near Myrtle Avenue / Hillside Avenue? (about 121st Street)...open late, and it's not as far as you'd think from Forest Hills.

Eddie's is a 10 minute walk from Baskin Robbins - head south on Ascan Street 'till you hit Metropolitan. It's about 1 block west of Ascan, on the corner near the Cinemart Theater. I can think of no better way to enjoy a lazy Saturday afternoon than to catch a matinee movie at the little theater followed by sundaes at Eddies. The decor of the shop has remained untouched for at leat 60 years, it's been run by the same sweet family for as long as I've been alive, and their home made hot fudge is out of this world. Growing up in Forest Hills, there was a bit of a Jahns vs. Eddies rivalry going between the patrons. Jahns, farther removed (in Kew Gardens - if memory serves) were more like the Yankees - a little slicker and more polished and certainly further away. But a mint chip sunday with home made marshmellow sauce, whipped cream and fudge is an amazin' way to root for the home team.

Outstrips Eddies by miles. My favorite - a hot fudge banana royale with mint chip and java chip ice cream tons of heavy whipped cream and hot fudge on the side.

Thanks! Sun Dec 26 14:06:38 -0800 2004 1300203 0 Janie 1 1300403 International Delight on Sunrise Highway in RVC. I heard about this and recently stopped in. Food is pretty good and they are open late. What I didnt know was they have more flavors of Gelato that I could count. I was so full at the time but cant wait to go back and try it! PS I dont know how im gonna pass up the Sweet Potato fries though Fri Dec 31 06:49:00 -0800 2004 1300160 0 ValL
