Our theme is “Summertime Fun”.
Cones melt in sea breeze
Burgers, shakes, and summer skies
Montauk tastes like joy

Burgers, fries and calzone just down a-ways. We float around on the aromas alone! 😛

That looks a fun place.
Mungo Jerry spent six weeks at #1 here in summer 1970, keeping Free and All Right Now off the top for five of those weeks. I’ve never forgiven them 🤣

Such a cool song which screams summer fun! Thanks for the info, Clive.
Take it from me …. the joint is jumpin’ with a line of people around the building. The ice cream is homemade and delish with new flavors every few days. My goal is to try each one! 🤣

We go there for ice cream every night during vacation and don’t even worry about the extra 6 pounds we gain while away! 😂

No…sometimes you have to go guilt free! We have a place like that near us that we go to. It’s honestly like going back in time.
