A frappe in NYC was layers of ice cream and syrup in a pretty glass. More like a Sundae. Heller's Pharmacy was across the street from our grammar school and always the last stop before going home. They sold candy and Spero Chips, Rock Candy in an orange box and Sen Sen in tiny envelopes. I was heartbroken to see that it was gone the last time I visited Howard Beach. The pharmacy was in the back. The black marble counter with stools up front. Frozen Milk Shake bars, CHerry or Vanilla Coke at a nickle a glass. Soda Jerk was the most glamorous job in town.
