Summer lovin', happened so OMG THERE'S A RITAS IN CHARLOTTE!!!!\n\nYes, that was my reaction a year or 2 ago when the Plaza Midhood got Philadelphia's very own Rita's Water Ice in town. Yes, WATER ICE. Not Italian Ice like this stupid Yelp listing says. Italian Ice - HARD. Water Ice - Watery, shockingly enough.\n\nAnyway, Rita's is the total bomb dot com, amazeballs, super duper awesome and all things positive. Sweet treats in 98273928732987 flavors, awesome custard, helpful staff - what more can one wish for?\n\nPerfect for families, date nights, and just an anytime pick me up."^^ . "1"^^ .
