Original Carvel Store Is Closing

[CQuinn]

Anyone remember driving up Central Ave to Hartsdale and then waiting on line for a delicious Carvel Ice Cream. The area wasn't as built up then so it was like a ride in the country topped off with a Carvel.

My sister Barri took me there.

I remember passing the one in Hartsdale, but to me the "original" Carvel is the one on Webster Ave a block south of Fordham Road (Near the Sears)

Thats the first Carvel *I* ever went to

The original for me was on the Concourse just off 182nd Street!! Yummy!!

Yes!, That was our Sunday drive in our "NEW" but old car. Three of my Uncles in their cars, and Grandma, I remember Central Ave was not paved, and it was a bumpy ride. I did not think that was the first one, I thought the first one was on the Saw Mill River Rd. I think they just took it down this past year. The day was the best, we always looks forward to going to Carvels. Then we would take the ride to Sing Sing and watch the prisoners play ball. Nice memories of the family rides to Carvel.

I don't remember a carvel store in my neighborhood.
As a kid I liked Bungalow Bar.
