If you are in the mood for some ice cream as you get off the Roosevelt Island Tram, why not order a cone

or some other tasty treat from the Mr. Softee truck parked at the Tram Plaza like these folks did yesterday afternoon.

Even in colder weather, outdoor ice cream is still good.

Everything stopped. No more playing punchball, stickball or any other street game as we asked our parents for money so we could buy some ice cream.

Here's one more piece of ice cream nostalgia from a time long ago.
