It does seem that Carvel stores have become increasingly rare nowadays.

I would always love their chocolate milk shakes, flying saucers, and sundaes. and of course there was always the popular Cookie Puss ice cream cake. Thankfully we still have a couple of Carvel shops in the area near where I live in Poughkeepsie (Red Oaks Mill) and Hopewell Junction.
