DC Food: Rita’s Ice Cones

Rita’s Ice Cone shops are becoming quite the chain, but I can taste why. This one is at the corner of South Dakota and Rhode Island on the northeast side and is THE stopping point for DC and Prince George’s County ambulances - five stopped by in the hour we were there. Plus, we can bike there from Mount Rainier.

You can get soft serve custard, but why?

Instead, go for the gelati. Tonight I had custard with pina colada and wild black cherry flavored shaved ice on top of more custard. Incredible.

    I’m from Philly and we have Ritas all over the place. I would advise anyone in D.C. who has never tried one to get one before they close down for the season. It’s like nothing you ever had. It’s delicious.
