Everyone has a favorite dessert, and milkshakes happen to be the go-to for many of our REALTORS®. Milk, ice cream, and syrup is a wonderful combination that has been a staple among classic diners, fast food restaurants, and ice cream parlors for decades. While vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry are the traditional flavors, never underestimate the versatility of a milkshake!
A sweet milkshake is the perfect way to celebrate the end of summer, and it’s no coincidence that September is Shake Month. To celebrate, here are some top Long Island milkshake destinations for you to explore:
