Hasbrouck Heights might have been the epicenter of a recent New Jersey earthquake.It;s also the epicenter of very good food and treats in South Bergen County. One place stands out - Ralph's Italian Ices .This is a taste of the Jersey shore up north.
This was the perfect place to go to after a hot day on the Garden State Park way. I wanted a very cold treat to deal with year another heat wave.Ralph's did not disappoint.
Like Rita's Ralph's is part of a chain that has branches in New York City.It started in Staten Island in 1928 when the original owner and ice maker Ralph Silvestro . It grew across the island (and attracted even big name Staten Islander's like Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson.)
This is their cherry cola flavor.I'm a sucker for any of the fizzy pop flavors and Ralph's doesn't;t disappoint.It has a puree, cleaner flavor, unlike other ices and doesn't have that cloying aftertaste many ices have. I can't wait to try the root beer.Their cappuccino sherbet looks interesting too and it's probably more of a gelato.Another plus is that they are generous with their scoops. This is the small cup and it was more than satisfying.
The weather is still steamy. Stop in at the Hasbrouch Height''s branch or any of the other Ralph's in the New York Metro area. The ice is a cool refreshing break from all this heat.
