I do. Very elaborate old ice cream parlor is what I remember, ice cream was out of this world! My father took is there in the 70's, it was a special treat.

I believe it moved to the corner of Lake Cook and Arlington Heights Road. Took my daughter there last year and asked about it and they said "yep we used to be on Pulaski and Irving Park". There were a few photos of the old place hanging on the wall.

I remember going to the original location on Pulaski as a young kid. I recall it having turn-of-the-20th century decor and if I remember correctly, a calliope inside that still played, I think, for when people had birthdays. Also they'd bring you a huge bowl of ice cream with a sparkler in it when it was your birthday.

My grandfather loved Buffalo! He took me there when I was a kid. The ice cream was great and I loved their chocolate phosphates. Here are a few articles about Buffalo.
