Hildebrandt’s

OK, so Hildebrandt’s isn’t in the five boroughs. But this soda fountain in Williston Park, Long Island, is so iconic that it’s worth a pit stop if you’re on the LIE—or even an excursion on the LIRR. This is where you go when you want to introduce your kid to the pleasures of a lime rickey, a malted shake, a marshmallow sundae. All the ice cream is made in house so that even the pie à la mode is special.
