I've been coming here since I was a kid. It's a must for all your summer treats. I'm a fan of the lemon Italian Ice made with real from real lemons! The soft serve ice cream is a classic and you will never regret it.
Pumpkin ice cream in a waffle cone on a crisp autumn day, after a less than stellar brunch is a nice supplement to my morning.
Reasonably priced, and nice outdoor benches/tables for enjoying your treat.
I had a bad run through Prospect Park (they tell me to stop running when my foot goes numb but do I listen? of course not) and ended up going a 1/2 mile too far around the park* and coming out at a corner I wasn't familiar with.
So what do I do? I treat myself to the random Louie G's on the corner.
For the most part, I'd expect the law that requires these places to have calorie information on the menu would have put them out of business long ago. Fifteen hundred calories in a large shake? Wow.
But the large ices they tell me are only 150 calories at most — well, hell, I can certainly justify that.
So I ordered the chocolate peanut butter and, from what I can tell, Louie G made a deal with the devil. I'm quite convinced there are real chunks of peanut butter cup in there and the ice only really tasted like ice on one bite; for the rest of the time it tasted close enough to ice cream for me.
As long as I stick with the ice, this is a great summer cooldown option.

I so miss this place! Growing up I remember playing in prospect park until late then going across the street for my Italian ice fix. Years later I would take my friends kids to the same part of the park to play and then treat them some Italian ice (who am I kidding, the treat was really for me). They have so many flavors I have yet to try, I definitely must go back ASAP.
