ZenFoodsterMay 30, 2015For warmer weather & liquid dieters, this Italian Ice kiosk whips up BEST cream & water ices ever! Love this water ice combo: sweetness of Orange, tanginess of Passionfruit, & tartness of Pineapple
The Corcoran GroupAugust 8, 2013Only open during the warmer months of the year, this spot is known for amazing cream and water ices. Take a date, grab some Mint Cookie or Rainbow Cookie ices and eat them in Madison Square Park.
Laura RowettApril 1, 2013Try the peanut butter fudge pretzel cream ice - it's incredible! Or layer the graham cracker cream ice & lime ice and top with soft serve if you really want to have your mind blown.
You can mix & match flavors. Don't forget to ask for a frequent buyer card too. My favorites are coconut, graham cracker, & peppermint patty.
Note that this is a seasonal place. Only open April-November. Also note that it is *only* take-out. There is no inside for the public, and the only seating outside is a park bench.
Leigh Anne ZinsmeisterSeptember 19, 2014They'll let you sample as many as you want before you decide. Strawberry cheesecake is my favorite - it has cheesecake bites mixed in!
TingOctober 31, 2015Ask the staff to help recommend flavor combinations. Perfect for hot days when ice cream feels too heavy.
Helen GrushkaAugust 16, 2012Delish, water ices and cream ices and they have a twister a combo of soft serv and creme ices soooo good but they are closing in November so you'll have to hurry up!!!!!!

HiddenHobokenSeptember 29, 2011Rita's may have the bigger name, but Ralph's has the neighborhood feel — plus more flavors of water ice than you can imagine in your wildest dreams.
Jimmy YMay 23, 2013Get the Twister! Best of both worlds,any ice flavor layered with soft ice cream.
AKWJuly 3, 2012This place is a great summer treat. All of the icy flavors are made with real fruit. YUM.
Ralph's finally comes to Manhattan with a great selection of Italian ices and a nice staff. Big thumbs up!
Sometimes they have pancake ice cream. Those times are the good times. Pancake ice cream, what?!?
Pinkky MiMiSeptember 15, 2011Tips for student: get a student appreciation card buy any 10 regular priced item then u get free ice cream or large ice
