For you metro New Yorkers out there...
When I was a kid and my cousin's family got cable television for the first time one of the stations they got was WOR channel 9 out of New York. I always saw commercials for Carvel, which they didn't have where I lived, and I was obsessed with the idea of ice cream cakes!!!
I think that, in the back of my mind, that the real reason I moved to NYC after college was so that I would have access to Carvel
