  Egg cream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An egg cream is a classic New York City beverage consisting of chocolate syrup (Almost always Fox's U-bet chocolate syrup in New York), milk, and seltzer (soda water), probably dating from the late 19th century, and is especially associated with Brooklyn, home of its inventor, candy shop owner Louis Auster.
The egg cream is almost exclusively a fountain drink; although there have been several attempts to bottle it none have been wholly successful, as its fresh taste and characteristic head requires mixing of the ingredients just before drinking.
In Louise Fitzhugh's book Harriet the Spy, an egg cream is Harriet's favorite drink, and she often had one while reviewing her case files in a diner.
