OK, while I agree frozen custard is good, it's still not the same as soft serve ice cream that you get from little stands in upstate NY. These places usually have 3 flavors - chocolate, vanilla and twist, and they have toppings such as sprinkles and dips.

I had "Mr. Softee" soft serve in NYC this past weekend and I agree that it is better than soft serve frozen yogurt. It's defintely creamier, so it probably has a higher fat content. I think frozen custard is better, but they're not even really the same type of dessert.

Everyone tells me to go to Panera when I whine about bagels (and I'm a Jersey Girl, I know how to whine). They are ok, but its just not the same! To tie back to this forum, its like I can get softserve from Dairy Queen, but its just not the same (OKC Girl you got it right!). Ok maybe its "as good" in a blind taste test, but, oh waaaahhh, its not the same!

And nobody seems to sell lox around here...or do they...

Their bagels were incredible - huge and the perfect balance of chewy and crusty. If memory serves me right, a bagel and lox was like $3.99 - a bargain even at 1992 prices!

Really? Oh man I've gotta try it! It still appears to be there according to google. Thanks for the tip! You made my day.
