After a winter hiatus, the Ralph's Famous Italian Ices & Ice Cream outpost reopened on the NW corner of Avenue A and Ninth Street this past week.
The shop's hours are 2-10 p.m. daily (longer hours once it gets warmer).
As previously noted, the business dates to 1928, when Ralph Silvestro started selling Italian ice (or water ice) from his truck around Staten Island. The first retail store opened in 1949 on Port Richmond Avenue in Staten Island.
In recent years, the company has franchised, expanding to other parts of the NYC metropolitan area and Long Island.
