CLEVELAND — For more than 40 years, Daisy's ice cream shop was a summer institution in the Slavic Village neighborhood of Cleveland. But just last year, the shop's future was in doubt. But as 3News Contributor Doug Trattner shares with Mike Polk Jr., new management and new energy are bringing back the smiles to Fleet Avenue.
"I think we took advantage of an opportunity and then began to realize how pinnacle this place was to the neighborhood. I mean ice cream and hot dogs and all of the memories that come along with a warm summer day," Brittany Bissell told Doug and Mike.
Bissell and partner Chris Hoke are now serving ice creams, brownie sundaes, banana splits, milk shakes and floats -- as well as a small selection of hot foods including hot dogs and traditional Polish boys, with kielbasa, fries, coleslaw and barbecue sauce, out of the iconic Fleet Avenue storefront.
"We're really lucky because here we are sitting at the table eating Polish Boys and ice cream. And you know what could be better than that on a hot summer day?" Hoke asked.
To see Doug test Mike's knowledge of the essential ingredients of a classic Cleveland Polish Boy, be sure to watch the full story in the player above.
