Rita’s Ice is coming to D.C.! There will soon be a Rita’s on Rhode Island Avenue, which, if you’re not familiar with the chain, is a good thing. I’d never heard of Rita’s until 5 years ago, when I started college in Pennsylvania. I wasn’t quite sure what water ice was, either. Actually, I’m still not sure. It’s not quite a Slurpee, not quite an Italian ice. Anyway, if you get the chance, try one. Too bad spring is almost behind us, because Rita’s gives away free water ice on the first day of spring.
