It’s Official: Rita’s Italian Ice Is BACK In New Jersey

With the warmer weather we had this weekend, spring is now on my mind, even with the mounds of snow still piled up in parking lots and lingering in some neighborhoods.

I'm hoping those 10-degree days are finally behind us. Fingers-crossed! I'm looking forward to sunny skies and warm days ahead in New Jersey.

What really got me excited for spring was what I saw driving home from the store the other day.

Rita's Italian Ice Is Now OPEN In New Jersey

YES!! Rita's Italian Ice is officially OPEN!!

And you can feel the excitement.

There was a line wrapped around the building, filled with people excited to get their first Italian ice (or water ice, depending on where you live in New Jersey) of the season, which is basically the unofficial sign that spring is right around the corner!
