If you're looking for a nostalgic ice cream experience, Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain will whisk you back in time when the soda pops cost a nickel and kids twirled around at countertop stools. Housed in an 1920s apothecary, the shop has a pretty amazing origin story that includes more than a dash of luck and serendipity (check their website for details). Now, thanks to a serious twist of fate, they're serving up old-school goodness from specialty sundaes and ice cream floats to housemade sodas and egg creams, a classic New York made with milk, syrup and seltzer. And yes, red-seated counter stools are in full effect.
