The original name was the French “Chocolat et Crème.” which, when said with a Brooklyn accent became a Egg Cream. This is our signature drink and our favorite. It is made from milk, seltzer and our own handmade chocolate . This drink has been made in Brooklyn for over 100 years, since it was invented by Louis Asture in his store on 4th Avenue and 7th Street in Manhattan. Since this delicious mixture loses its fizz in a short time, egg creams are one of the soda fountain specialties you can’t get without going to a true soda fountain. Lofty Pursuits is one of the few places to get this Brooklyn original outside the New York area.

Ch odosh's Candy Store Jahn's Ice Cream Schraft's What is a soda fountain and why did you open one in Lofty Pursuits? I get this question every day. Lofty Pursuits has always been an extension of my childhood, which I think was a very good one. I grew up in Brooklyn, New York and I spent my days biking my neighborhood, going to the corner soda fountain, reading books, playing with my friends. One of the centers of life for the kids where I grew up was Ben Chodosh’s Candy Store. For some reason fountains in NYC were called candy stores, and unlike most parts of the country they were not typically in drug stores, but were stand­alone stores. They sold ice cream, sodas, newspapers, magazines and other useful things that were near to home. They were the convenience stores of their day and often sold milk and eggs. Chodosh opened his store in 1947 and kept it open though the 1980s. My grandfather would go there every day to shoot the breeze about world affairs, and I would go there for comic books and an egg cream. There were other fountains around too. Jahn’s was the home to the legendary Kitchen Sink I have tried to do justice to in my menu. Schraft’s was the place that you went for very special occasions. All three of these places are now gone, but their memories made up a lot of the joy of my childhood. I hope through Lofty Pursuits I can help you and your kids have happy memories like the ones I had growing up. ­Gregory Cohen
