There are fewer blizzards in the world today. The Dairy Queen at 434 West 85th Street, in the fish-scented shadow of Long John Silver’s, has closed.

To the young woman behind the counter who once told me not to order that hot dog, I tip my novelty sundae baseball cap to you. I hope you landed on your feet. To those who live in Waldo, there’s still frozen custard at Waldo Pizza, and Garza’s Goodies Chocolates and Confections (322 W. 85th St.) has ice-cream brownie sandwiches.
