Our food options increased as we Croton youth advanced from biking to driving. In our junior or senior year at CHHS, Tom Carvel, the Greek founder of the Westchester based franchise, introduced the “buy one get one free,” gimmick. The Carvel franchise claims that it invented that marketing idea. We high school kids in Croton literary ate that ice cream sales gimmick up. In the early 1980s, Tuesday became Sunday (ice cream Sundays) at Carvel for me and my classmates. We piled into old beat up Chevys, Fords, and Dodges and caravanned to the Carvel located around the corner from the A &P north west of the village of Croton. Imagine this, just an hour before lacrosse practice and games, teammates and I would down two ice cream Sundays! I would order a Sunday made from scratch with vanilla soft-serve ice cream, strawberries in syrup, and chopped nuts. As a coach of my son’s youth lacrosse team in Tarrytown, I ask the kids to eat at least 3 to four hours before playing. Boy what a hypocrite I am!
