I like mine with "extra" chocolate syrup.I have read/seen/thought about these for years!
Why has it taken me this long to make 'em?
I don't know.
My husband and I are both baffled as to why they are called Egg Creams when there is neither eggs nor cream inside of them. But, delightfully easy and a nice after dinner treat. Not as rich or as sweet as a milkshake, but decadent just the same.

New York Egg Cream
.
1/4 C half and half (you can use fat free!)
1 C chilled seltzer water
2 T chocolate syrup (or more if desired!)
...
Place a 16 ounce glass in the freezer for an hour to chill. Pour half and half into the glass, add seltzer water and stir with a spoon or straw until a thick foam forms. Pour chocolate syrup into glass and stir. Enjoy!

I don't care for seltzer, so I am little iffy about this.
But you always have great ideas and photos!
Hmmmm...that recipe looks like...oh what's it called? French or Italian soda I think...I bet it's good though! I've never heard of anything called New York egg cream. I thought you were talking about a pudding! LOL!

Always find good stuff over at Emily's place. She's just fun.
I grew up on these in NY. No joke. We always went to my Grandma's and had Vanilla Egg Creams!!!!!!!!
I've been making them for years, only by a different name and with a scoop of ice cream in each fountain glass.
