🍧 Why Summer Starts Here
A 1928 Staten Island institution, Ralph's turns the season into a walk up ritual. The Bay Street counter opens with a striped blue facade, bright menu boards, and a steady stream of cups heading back toward the block. Order Italian ices or cream ices, then take your time with the flavor board.
Mint chip and chocolate peanut butter cup cream ice are two of the flavors in the rotation. The range is the draw, and more than 100 flavors give indecisive groups plenty to debate before the next person steps up. Service keeps the line moving quickly, a welcome rhythm on warm afternoons.
Bring cash or a card, then watch for seasonal favorites that can disappear before your next visit. Ralph's sits at 1071 Bay Street, open daily from noon to 10 PM, with a 4.4 rating across 153 ratings.
