100 Flavors Inside, Pups and People Outside: Ralph’s Ices Brings the Heat to Chelsea
196 Seventh Ave. (btw. W. 21st & 22nd Sts.) Open Sunday through Thursday, 11:30am-11pm & Friday/Saturday, 11:30am-11:30pm. When they breezed into our part of town on Wednesday, June 12, Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices and Ice Cream did so with very little fanfare–and yet they still managed to attract a steady stream of customers from the get-go (due in no small part to glowing reviews months in advance of opening the Chelsea store, from those familiar with other locations in Manhattan and beyond). As for the Chelsea location at 196 Seventh Ave. (btw. W. 21st & 22nd Sts.): For a block that has its share of shuttered storefronts (we still mourn for the long-gone, mom-and-pop-run 7-Eleven), the sight of a line forming in front of a new business was as sweet as any one of Ralph’s many flavors and fixings. We noted the presence of this awesome source of “sundaes, shakes, smoothies, and soft serve” in a breif news item pubished just two days after their arrival (click here to read it). But like so many of their very cool offerings, that only left us hungry for more. So we said, “Welcome to the Neighborhood” with the below Q&A session–and emerged knowing a bit more about the products, the people behind them, and the pups that arrive to find they’ve been given a seat at the table (or at least some paw room on the front counter).
