Made with whole milk, seltzer, and chocolate syrup, this vintage beverage was a true chocolate lover's dream. Unfortunately, the flourishing soda fountain culture that existed between the 1940s and 1970s saw a sharp decline as bottled sodas started taking over. Though this change in trends spelled disaster for deli staples, you can still scour your local restaurants in search of the once ubiquitous beverage. Alternatively, you can try preparing your own at home.

Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain, owned by siblings Peter Freeman and Gia Giasullo, is the reigning champion of the National Egg Cream Invitational.
