Have you have had Rita's water ice? Well John's is so so much better! This late spring to early fall water ice shop has been around for ages! Love their pineapple, mango, cherry, and birthday cake flavors!

World famous for the iconic Philadelphia water-ice. Pronounced by locals like "wudder ice". My personal favorite for hot summer days.
