egg cream
Chocolate soda fountain
An egg cream is a New York soda fountain drink containing neither eggs nor cream—just chocolate syrup, milk, and seltzer water, vigorously mixed to produce a frothy head.
The drink remains a nostalgic icon of Brooklyn and Jewish delis: I'll have an egg cream with my pastrami sandwich.
