My fantasy is to leave a bi-lingual note that says something like: As you know this neighborhood is filled with computer geeks. Because of your inconsiderate behavior we have noted your license plate and within twenty-four hours we will totally f!ck up your and your families computer records. Have a nice day.

Toricos fans who cruise up, park illegally, leave their car running, windows down, with bass-thumping music blaring at 10:55pm on a weeknight while they saunter inside for a (badass, yo) ice cream cone, should not be surprised to find something special waiting for them in the driver's seat.
this has been a Public Service Announcement from the Neighbors of Toricos. enjoy your cone.

Why can't the people on this site discuss anything - tacos, ice cream, dog grooming, road paving... without turning it into a war of semantics and grammar correction?
Torico is finally open again, it's summer, their product is awesome. Yuppies are the reason a place like this can stay closed to invest in their property for an extended period of time and still afford to open again. Enjoy the mamey, it's delicious.

did you use your jump to conclusions mat to get to this? Who said anythign about other areas of JC or getting shot? That's very closed minded and bigoted. I don't want to wait in line or get shot.

yuppie - n. an individual who makes the area he or she lives in better and less ghetto because of their high paying job. A term used by those who live in ghetto areas, unemployed individuals, and/or those who wished they lived where a "yuppie" lived.
I rather wait 2 hours in line behind yuppies than go to some places in JC and get shot, tyvm

well "yuppie scum" was catdogs term. I simply said "yuppie" but I guess I could have gone with douchy because I didn't mean to imply that it was cool to not have a career. Yall are so sensitive. And to be clear, I still love Torico's and wish them well, I just can't stand in that line. I'll go back eventually when there's no wait.

since the definition of Yuppie is "young urban professional," I never understood why it was ever seen as derogatory, or why they're (we're) such a rare unwelcome bird in any urban environment. do people really aspire that hard to not have a career? how'd that get to be cool?

All of this complaining about "yuppie scum" in line at Toricos makes me wonder what exactly qualifies someone as a yuppie, and how this is identifiable by standing in line? By yuppie do you actually mean white? Do you mean someone under 40 years of age? I always understood yuppie to be a lifestyle so I'm confounded ... You can tell by looking at them, and you are offended by it? I don't think I'm a yuppie (maybe you'd disagree?) but why would I be offended by yuppies or hipsters or skaters or grannies?

You can also hit up the chicken shack on Newark for a $1.50 cone with no line!

Hey ice cream lovers I know a place that would love the overflow traffic. Why wait in line behind a “yuppie”?
 Have you DQ’d today? You must have DQ’d at least once in your life. Why not again? Take a trip over to the wild side of JC for a refreshing treat. Plenty of parking in their big lot. The lot that sales Xmas trees in the winter Dairy Queen 513 Westside Ave http://www.dairyqueen.com/us-en/store-details/5043/ While strolling down Westside with your cone check out these places of business. ** ** For the latest sneaks and North Face gear… HEIRS MENS SHOP 525 WESTSIDE AVE http://heirsmensshop.com ** ** For some hip sh*t …. SUVAS (store should be in DTJC…word!) 510 WESTSIDE AVE http://teamsuvas.com ** ** Hungry after the cone? Step on over to this 440 original … KELLOGG GARDEN 520 WESTSIDE AVE (NOT to be confused with the “new” KELLOGG GARDEN that stole the “old” KELLOGG GARDEN name and just opened up in one of the store fronts next to K-Mart.) (tip: don’t ask the “old” KELLOGG GARDEN people if they have anything to do with the “new” KELLOGG GARDEN. You will get yelled at in a foreign tongue or worse yet… whipped with a wet noodle.) ** ** To wash things down hit the Dunkin Donuts on the corner of Union and Westside. (you may need that extra jolt of java in case you have to run after the dudes who just ripped off your GPS, tires, rims, etc) (just kidding) ** ** Enjoy JC! We don’t bite!

My wife and I visited Sunday also. Line was fairly short and we didn't have to wait too long. Was worth it - Glad they're open again.

We went yesterday (sunday) around 6pm and the line was just outside the door, but moved very quickly (maybe 5 mins?)
It was our first time, and found it to be quite enjoyable. What I don't understand, however, is what the hell took so long for them to reopen? It was a pretty basic brick box with freezers, not a whole lot in terms of interior design.

I wouldn't wait behind welfare recipients for 20 minutes for ice cream either. I have no problem with "yuppie scum" per se (at least in this instance) it just so happens that is who/what was in line. Same reason why I seldom go to wonder bagles anymore.

Went last night - Waited at least 30 minutes - both lines were very long. Didn't mind the wait since it was a nice night and a Sunday but probably wouldn't wait like that again.

I am sure it is people who have been waiting for Toricos to re-open after all of this time.

it's been mentioned upthread, but bears repeating: Two Scoops's Tommy has a close relative in the JC buildings dept. Toricos's opening was delayed for months by the JC buildings dept. But I'm sure there's no connection. Carry on.

I was there a couple of weeks ago at around 4:30 pm no line. But at that point no freebies. Are you saying people were in line to so they could spend $4 on a cone ? How many scoops do you get for $4 ?

Is it just me??? I don't recall the line being out the door in the past. Have that many more
Either way, 20 mins in line for ice cream seems a little crazy. I don't think I'd wait in line that long for a free cone and $5 cash back. Tommy Two Scoops just got another customer or maybe I'll visit Torico's on a rainy day.

Went by last night at around 9. Line out the door.
These guys can earn a living being open 3 months out of the year. The place is packed every time I walk by. There selection of flavors looks great. Have to stop by with my gf one night.

Went in on Sunday about 11:30 am. No line whatsoever and the Coffe & Cookies ice cream was as good as ever. I like the old hand-crank machine on display but I have to say it looks like it's from the 1860's not the 1960's. Can that really be what they used when they first started or is it just for show?

Not bad.

So psyched to have them back. But, as their close neighbor, I must ask a favor of my fellow JClisters:
When you sit on one of the nearby stoops to enjoy your ice cream, please take your trash with you when you leave. Torico's return means another summer of digging cups/spoons/napkins out of my plants, and that somewhat dampens the joy. Thanks in advance!
