Pennsylvania Roadside Landmark Was Nearly Replaced, but Two Women Brought Back a Family Favorite

Ice cream nachos exist, and they’re being served at a revived roadside creamery that opens at 6:30 in the morning. That early start matters because this spot now pours coffee and makes griddled breakfast sandwiches before most ice cream shops even unlock the door. Later in the day, the menu swings toward smash burgers, cheesesteaks, and milkshakes.

In 1742, crossing the Delaware River at the Forks in Easton, Pennsylvania meant climbing into a canoe. Your horse did not get a seat. It swam alongside, reins in your hand, the current pulling at its legs. There was no bridge. There was no town on the Pennsylvania shore, only woods, brush, and an Indian path toward Bethlehem. There was just a ferryman, and he was a former New Jersey sheriff named David Martin.
