Frozen hot chocolate. Almost an oxymoron but it works. The first time I visited was a rainy day with Soy. This was one of our must place to go in NY. Quiet honestly I don't know why, but we did and ever since that day we kept going whenever I was in NY. I don't know too much about its history, but having a talk with the current owner, there was originally 3 owners to the restaurant. Or should I say 3 brothers. The current owner is the youngest of the 3 and last of his family.
The restaurant is very decorative, having souvenirs right by the door giving waiting customers something to look at and play with as they wait for their seat. The wait on a typical day is usually 10-25 minutes, but can get long as 2 hours on weekend nights. Despite the wait, the atmosphere is nice a friendly, perfect date place to go with your significant other. Personally, the restaurant seem a bit couple orientated, so if you're alone I wouldn't recommend it.
The restaurant it self had variety of food on their menu, and they are priced fairly except the fact that they have a minimum of 8 dollar a customer, probably because of the extensive wait. I would recommend the frozen hot chocolate because it's what they are known for. I haven't tried any of their food yet, except the one eyed jack (which I don't recommend), but I have tried their dessert and it isn't a disappointment.
