Ellen’s Stardust Diner Brings Back a Classic with Limited-Edition Egg Cream

Celebrating National Egg Cream Day with a Nostalgic New York Favorite

With spring in the air and warm weather just around the corner, Ellen’s Stardust Diner in Times Square is rolling out a limited-time treat that pays homage to a beloved New York tradition. In celebration of National Egg Cream Day on Saturday, March 15, the diner will debut its Ellen’s New Yorker Egg Cream, a fizzy, frothy classic with a modern twist.

Served in a tall glass with cold milk, bubbly seltzer water, and rich chocolate syrup, the egg cream has been a New York staple since the late 1800s, tracing its roots to the city’s vibrant immigrant communities. Ellen’s Stardust Diner keeps that history alive while adding its signature touch: a generous swirl of whipped cream and a black-and-white cookie garnish, a nod to the city’s cherished bakery scene.

Despite its name, the egg cream contains neither egg nor cream, yet its smooth, effervescent texture has made it an enduring favorite for generations of New Yorkers. As soda fountains have faded into history, finding an authentic egg cream in the city has become increasingly rare—making this limited-time offering at Ellen’s even more special.

For those craving a refreshing yet indulgent taste of old-school New York, Ellen’s New Yorker Egg Cream will be available for $10 from March 15 through March 31. Whether you’re a longtime fan or trying an egg cream for the first time, this seasonal delight promises to deliver a sip of nostalgia with every bubble.
