The Food Seen
Brooklyn Farmacy presents "The Soda Fountain"
On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, we're talking floats, sundaes, egg creams, & more with Brooklyn Farmacy's brother & sister team, Peter Freeman and Gia Giasullo. With the release of their new book, "The Soda Fountain", they not only document their own efforts to open up what is now a neighborhood destination, but they also celebrate the history of a classic American establishment. From the days of Rx to the soda fountain's recent revival, they channel a century worth of "soda jerks" who always serve pretzel sticks with a smile. From a Cherry Lime Rickey to The Sundae of Broken Dreams, come find out what makes Brooklyn Farmacy an American original. This program was sponsored by Whole Foods Market.
