Yes, the ice cream toppings and whipped cream are home made. The place transports you back to a more innocent and sane time in our history and the nostalgic kitsch collectibles are for sale. The only complaint I have is no matter when I have visited Eddie's - and I am going back years (since I don't live far away from it), the counter staff leaves much to be desired. They are slow in noticing you - often appear overwhelmed, and sometimes sullen. I have yet to get a ""thank you"" or ""have a nice day"" from anyone working here. But the ice cream sundaes and banana splits are heavenly and the malteds are real malts, made with malt powder. A Black and White Ice Cream Soda hits the spot too! They also make Lime Rickeys and real Cherry Cokes. This is one of the last of a dying breed in NYC - go and enjoy and ignore the rude kids behind the counter!
Pros: Atmosphere, homemade sweets.
Cons: Rude waitstaff, parking.
