  • Three words: Cheap water ice! After a walk in Allegheny Cemetery yesterday afternoon (Memorial Day), CM and I were hot. After checking to ensure that I had cash, I suggested that we stop by for a cool treat, and he assented. Fortunately, when we pulled up and parked, I saw a sandwich board sign on the sidewalk stating that they were open. Hooray! My original plan was to order a cone of soft serve ice cream and have it dipped in chocolate topping and then in sprinkles. However, the woman working told me they didn't have chocolate topping (?!?), so I had to change my plans. CM was intrigued by the water ice (Italian ice), since he'd never had any, and decided to order one. I decided to do the same, since I'd been looking for an alternative to Rita's (bleh!), but water ice is surprisingly difficult to come by in the Burgh. I asked the woman what brand it is, and she informed me that it's Hershey's (I wasn't even aware that Hershey's made water ice, but apparently, they do, and it's sold under the Via Venetto label.) For our water ices, CM ordered watermelon flavor, and I ordered tie dye, a combination of lemon, lime, and blue raspberry flavors. The tie dye was a nice combination of tart and sweet flavors, but I wasn't a huge fan of the watermelon, since it tasted rather artificial to me. The texture was velvety, as is appropriate for water ice, and it was cold enough that it didn't melt quickly. Best of all, the price was right ($2.14 w/ tax for a small)--a dollar cheaper than Rita's, which is overpriced IMO, and with comparable or better quality. (I'll have to see if I can get them to make a gelati!) Oddly, despite the claim that they didn't have chocolate topping, I saw a kid with a cone that appeared to be dipped in just that. I'll have to try ordering that again next time to see if this was a fluke. Regardless, I'll definitely be stopping back here soon to get another fix of cheap, delicious water ice!
