If you've been to Philadelphia. You know all about "water ice." Rita's has always been a Philadelphia favorite, making their water (Italian) ices with real fruit.
The space and time continuum is a little off here. Newbies will need plenty of time to peruse the pastry displays, and their atypical bakery offerings. It pays to be adventurous. Can't miss: teacakes.

Try one of the mocajetes, delicious grilled meats served in the traditional grinding stone of Mexico.
