8/6, National Root Beer Float Day: Purple Yam
This pan-Filipino Ditmas Park restaurant may seem like an unusual destination for an all-American root beer float. But you’ll never go back to vanilla-topped A&W once you’ve tasted Romy Dorotan’s version, made with bottles of Abita and scoops of housemade yam, jackfruit and macapuno (coconut sprout) ice cream.
