Ice Cream Sundae Started in New York

Did you know the ice cream sundae was originally created in Upstate New York?

Over 130 years ago the ice cream sundae was born. It happened on April 5th, 1892 in Ithaca, New York at Platt & Colt's Pharmacy on State Street.

According to legend, Chester Pratt, the pharmacy owner, received a regular visitor after Sunday services—Reverend John M. Scott from the Unitarian Church. Each time they met, Pratt would prepare a special treat for the reverend: a dish of vanilla ice cream topped with syrup and a cherry.

The priest praised the treat, saying it was too good to keep to himself and should be enjoyed by others. Since it was made on a Sunday for church services, Reverend Scott proposed naming it after the day.

The spelling was later changed to "sundae" to avoid offending anyone at the time.

There's even a plaque honoring the creation on the street in Ithaca.
