The "Broadway soda" is a combination of coffee an chocolate. It isn't served anymore, but it probably should be!

Broadway Soda
This is one of the best known sodas in New York City and is a wonderful combination. Pump 3/4 of an ounce each of chocolate and coffee flavor into a 12-ounce glass. Add teaspoonful of whipped cream, leaving spoon in glass. Use fine stream until glass is 3/4 full and add a No. 16 ball of ice cream, filling the glass with a coarse stream.

7 February 1979, Los Angeles Times, pg. E5:
Now we are going to the mezzanine, to Hudson's mezzanine luncheon room, for a Broadway soda. They are made with coffee syrup and vanilla ice cream and they come frothed the same color as the waves that lap onto our Higgins Lake sand after there has been a storm, the palest whipped sand color. They are the most sophisticated of sodas, Setty says.
8 July 1979, New York Times, pg. LI6:
The Broadway soda, a chocolate soda-coffee ice cream confection, is made with seltzer from the fountain and sprinkled with nutmeg.
