//The line

Gothamist reports the current owners, brothers Peter and Nick Moukas, have run this cramped Jackson Heights room for roughly 30 years, and the space itself is tight with no dedicated parking, which the outlet notes as a source of waits at busy times.

The draw is less the diner menu than the sundae program, per Gothamist — an entire page devoted to elaborate ice cream creations including the 8-person, 24-scoop Kitchen Sink, which tends to pull larger groups into the small dining room at once.
