egg creams
Fizzy chocolate milk
An egg cream is a sweet fountain drink from New York City containing neither eggs nor cream—just chocolate syrup, milk, and seltzer water, vigorously mixed to create a frothy head.
The drink originated in Jewish immigrant neighborhoods in the early twentieth century and remains a nostalgic staple of New York delis: I'll have an egg cream and a pastrami on rye.
