Silent Films at Farmacy Tonight!

Three nights over three months Farmacy will host an event they call "Silent Films at the Fountain" (soda fountain, of course).  Tonight is the first in the series.  From 7-9pm you can go in, get an egg cream, watch some comedic silent films like Chaplin or Keaton, and feel really old timey.  The event is sponsored by The Musician's General Store, has live musical accompaniment by Ben Model, and is free!!!  If you can't go tonight mark your calendars for the future screenings, November 7th and December 12th.

Top Three Egg Creams!

As we all know egg creams, a combo of milk, traditionally chocolate syrup and seltzer, are back after being hard to find on menus for decades. These retro bevs are now featured at several restaurants in and around our hood. Here are the picks for top 3!

#1 Henry Public- The perfect combo of especially creamy milk, chocolate syrup, and seltzer spritzed from an antique seltzer bottle for an ultimate old-timey effect. Not too bubbly, not too milky. Just delicious!

#2 Farmacy- This egg cream wins as much for taste as it does for ambiance. The place is warm, homey, and takes you to an era we can only dream about (or pretend we live in for the 20 minutes or so we're in there enjoying this beverage). Ask about the different flavors too, such as vanilla and coffee!

#3 Fort Defiance- Featured as a top egg cream in Brooklyntheborough.com's best of the borough egg cream contest this is definitely a choice egg cream. The one we had was not as chocolatey as the other two but the milk and seltzer were right on.

Go on an egg cream drinking spree for yourself and tell us what you think!
