Last Treat @: Emo’s For 2025!

by MBIP


It’s impossible to believe, but today we’re officially just three months away from Christmas Day! I’ll be in New York City then, but more about that down the road!

Summer is officially over and that means that Emo’s Dairy Mart is closing soon. Actually, the exact date it’ll be open is this Sunday, but I have a lot going on the next few days and tonight is the last chance I have to go and get some sort of treat at Emo’s.

So it’s off to Emo’s we go!

Here we are at Emo’s on the Wednesday evening before they close for the season this coming Sunday. Let’s go and get a closer look at the creepy clown on top of the building.

Hello, creepy clown!

This Emo’s sign on the side of the building is so old and time-worn, the hot dog has turned into a pickle!

They’re open tonight, but closing on the 28th. Okay, let’s go get our last treat of the season!

Wow, there’s quite a line here, looks like a lot of other people decided to pay their last respects to the 2025 season too!

Okay, after about twenty minutes, I’m next at the ordering window!

There’s just two women working tonight and they look kind of frazzled, so I didn’t want to bother them for a photo, but here’s the inside of Emo’s.

I thought I’d order a Wizard, since the menu is right next to me. Help me Mr. Wizard!

I got my Wizard treat and decided to enjoy it at this table over here. Let’s have a seat and I’ll reveal what flavor I got.

I got the cookie dough Wizard and it’s good, but not much cookie dough flavor to it.

As I dig down, all of the cookie dough chunks and flavor are near the bottom of the cup and it’s really delicious and a sweet treat the further down you go!

I’ve looked at the creepy clown from both sides now…and he’s equally creepy on either side!

Goodnight Emo’s, see you in 2026!

And remember, you’ve got until this Sunday, September 28th to enjoy your last Emo’s treat before it closes for that horrible season I like to call winter.
