Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices officially reopening for the season tomorrow (Friday!) on Avenue A

Ralph's Famous Italian Ices and Ice Cream on Avenue A at Ninth Street will open for the season tomorrow (March 6). 

Yesterday, we spotted Rich, the franchise owner, stocking the shop and getting the space ready for opening day.
Two passersby stopped, hoping for an early taste — and Rich obliged, handing out a few raspberry scoops on the house.
"When Ralph's opens, it's a sign spring is around the corner," Rich said. 

Yes, please. Team EVG is more than ready to move on from the snow and cold.

hey, Grieve - this isn't about Ralph's (which is great) - but nytimes ran an article this morning where Richard Hell was giving a tour of his EV apartment from 1974. This seems like they are stealing your thing...that's an evgrieve article if I ever saw one. You want I should do something about this?

Love Richard Hell! We saw the NYT article — great piece. Interview did a photo shoot from his apartment too. Guess we missed the invite! 😅
