    This is our 'go to' ice cream parlor. The Skookie is absolutely to die for. Its a large baked(on a skillet) chocolate chip cookie with ice cream on top with a big old mountain of whipped cream. The hot cookie melts the ice cream and really is a great sweet combo.  Nice decor and the owner is very nice..

    This is a review by a lacto-ovo vegetarian

    Milkshake. Taken by itself literally this word is not too appealing. When defined by the experience at nelly bly's it's downright attractive.

    Nelly Bly's is an old fashioned ice cream parlor manned by teenagers and primarily for families. They manage the crowd well and serve up all the classics like sundaes, bannana splits, milkshakes, malts, and cones. They make waffles right there and the place is redolent with the smell of freshly ironed carbs.

    A milkshake is 3 scoops of ice cream, milk, and a shot of syrup. There is a more expensive version that adds a "topping" like oreo pieces. They have suggestions but easily handled my custom job: 2 scoops vanilla peanut butter, 1 scoop banana, shot of chocolate syrup. On a different night I tweaked it: 1 scoops vanilla peanut butter, 2 scoop banana, shot of chocolate syrup. yes, I was trying for a chunky monkey milkshake. The later worked better.

    Eat dinner where you like on 130 but save room for dessert and come here.

    Nelly Bly's is in a great location. That's the single best aspect of this place.  I think the place is nice inside. Of course they inconveniently don't take credit cards (like it's not 2010). The service was terrible. A pair of friends and I waited ten minutes to even be acknowledged at the bar. We all ordered milkshakes. The worker actually cried about them being the hardest thing to make and he really didn't want to do it. I am not lying. Really dude? So we all ordered milkshakes. I had a cookies and cream. It was 4.79, and it was weak. Predominantly milk, and i could barely taste the cookies. I finished it within minutes instead of actually enjoying it.
