Homemade chocolates and ice cream in long-time favorite locale.
A throwback to yesteryear, Hildebrandt’s is a Long Island favorite for ice cream and other treats. The luncheonette opened in 1927 and since 1974 it has been owned and operated by the Strano family.
Be sure to set your DVR’s as Hildebrandt’s is also going to be featured on the Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on Monday, March 28, at 9 p.m.
