In the bustling streets of New York City, there's a delightful beverage that has captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike for over a century: the Bronx Egg Cream.

Its unique flavor profile, characterized by a creamy sweetness balanced with a fizzy effervescence, has made it a beloved staple in New York's culinary scene.

Both recipes provide step-by-step instructions, ensuring that you can easily whip up this delicious treat at home. Whether you're a lifelong New Yorker or simply curious about this iconic beverage, these recipes will guide you in crafting the perfect Bronx Egg Cream, capturing the essence of this timeless New York classic.

Just imagine a cute display of penguins, made with black olives, carrots and cream cheese! You can add scarves and hats by using fresh red pepper strips, or canned pimentos cut into different shapes. Use frilly toothpicks if you can.

Steps:
- Cut a slit from top to bottom, lengthwise, into the side of each jumbo olive. Carefully insert about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese into each olive. Slice the carrot into eighteen 1/4 inch thick rounds; cut a small notch out of each carrot slice to form feet. Save the cut out piece and press into center of small olive to form the beak. If necessary cut a small slit into each olive before inserting the beak.
- Set a big olive, large hole side down, onto a carrot slice. Then, set a small olive onto the large olive, adjusting so that the beak, cream cheese chest and notch in the carrot slice line up. Secure with a toothpick.
