Ice Cream Cottage

John Pastore has been making ice cream at his little "cottage" in Mastic for 30 years. The ex-Carvel man (he still has the Fudgie the Whale molds to prove it) serves both hard and soft-serve chocolate ice cream in an unparalleled variety of cones: sugar, wafer, double wafer, waffle, chocolate waffle, chocolate chip, chocolate wafer, pretzel, M&M. Flavors include chocolate overdose (fudge, chips, brownies), black forest (black Bordeaux cherries and broken-up chocolate shell) and a chocolate peanut-butter cup with a ribbon of peanut sauce plus crushed peanut-butter cups.
