What is a "Broadway flip"? See the 1965 article below, but the prices there are 40 cents a serving!
21 June 1965, New York Times, "Real Ice Cream Parlor Is Still Thriving in City" by Craid Claiborne, pg. 24:
"Those doors" are the entrance to the Becker and Citarella confectionery at 548 West 207th Street. To pass beneath them is to be transported to an ice cream parlor from the early years of the century.
(...)
In the room to the rear are marble-topped tables and a notice on the wall of the frozen specialties of the house. These include Broadway Flip, Lover's Delight, Pineapple Temptation and Marshmallow Sundae, and the cost is about 40 cents a serving.
"As far as I know," Chris Becker, one of the owners, said, "this ice cream parlor has been here since the building was built and that was in 1913 or 1914. I first came here when it was called Broger and Lewessen. They owned a lot of ice cream parlors in Manhattan."
