Aunt Patty D's Gourmet Ices
Patty Dell’Olio says she’s always loved ices, and rather than wait any longer to find a storefront, she decided to open hers in an unusual spot — the front of Brooklyn Geek [https://www.google.com/search?q=brooklyn+geek&oq=brooklyn+geek&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i59j69i60l3.1387j0j7&
