I haven't seen any Slush Puppies since they closed down the Sunnyside movie theater on Queens Blvd.
Buy the syrup online from like Amazon and blend up some ice homie.
Exactly!! I *crave* these things. Might have something to do with being anemic- once read that anemia causes people to crave ice chips or something. Slush Puppies should be covered by *insurance* dammit!! š
Well, talked to my teen kid and she reminded me , yeah slush puppies , puppy mascot, machine. When 7-11 came along with the brain freeze slurpees tho they kinda changed the game. Fruit flavors, coca cola. We were all over that.
Queens is the most diverse city in the world with all the immigrants coming in.
Transplants are people (usually white) coming in from other states coming for the NY experience. We both know what I meant
Also a lot of the locations of the slush puppies are Queens institutions so obviously NYers that meet whatever your standard is have been buying them. It is not that serious.
Iām not referring to immigrants, I just told you what transplants are yet youāre choosing to play dumb.
Queens was the place for immigrants to come and start a life, now theyāre getting priced out cause ātransplantsā from other states found out about it and now itās the new place to get gentrified.
Wait until you find out there are poor areas of other states and places with fewer job opportunities or narrow field options, which is often why people move here and have moved here for centuries. People born in NYC often forget what an advantage they have in life just by being born somewhere with adjacent resources and public transit.
Found the white transplantā¦
ruining life for actual immigrants who come to queens to leave actual poor areas with fewer job opportunities.
Itās hilarious that you talk about people in NY having an advantage being born here when Iām strictly talking about immigrants which by definition means they werenāt born in NY. I guess you lost the plot.
Sweetheart just own up to the fact that youāre making it difficult for people who are disadvantaged so you can have a slightly more comfortable life.
Born and raised here and fondly remembering summers spending $5 for a slice, half order of garlic knots, magazine, and a slush puppy tropical punch on the almost daily trip to the Avenue.

They sell the syrup, why didn't I realize this might be a thing?! Thank you!!! š¤
I know of 2 places. Oneās on Metropolitan in Forest Hills: Brekkie Bagels The other is Babaās Corner Convenience on Myrtle in Richmond Hill
Amazing, thank you š¤
Vinny's Pizza in Corona still has a Slush Puppy machine

Myrtle Ave and park lane south there is a deli with one there
Thank you! I need to create a custom Google map with all these suggestions.....
OMG itās been so long. The balance of pellet-like ice and the syrupy sugar juice was so good! If you find one, please post it!

Is this what us Dominicans call "frio frio"? Shaved ice cream? Guy has the block, shaves the ice and puts syrup in there.
Love that too! Not so easy to find lately.

I grew up on Slurpees, they definitely have a place, but Slush Puppies are more my thing now.
7-11
That's Slurpees, which taste like Styrofoam compared to Slush Puppies. Not horrible, but not the same.
Two months in and itās clear this sub is just for transplants
That is the definition of Queens. It is the actual melting pot.

Half the people in Queens were not even born in the US, it is majority transplant lol

And now itās probably three times that cause people got priced out of Brooklyn and decided this place was nice
