If you are from the New York area and over the age of 30, you’ll remember Tom Carvel’s distinctive voice from his ice cream commercials. His original Carvel ice cream shop was on Central Park Avenue in Hartsdale, NY, around the very same spot where his ice cream truck broke down in the 1930′s.
I took this photo in late 2008 after the store was closed so the land could be developed. The land around it was wooded but had been cleared at the time I snapped the photo. The yellow banner in the window says “Japanese Hibachi Steak house coming soon.”
