‘Rita’s Tangerine Ice’

I’m salivating already. This past weekend I had my first taste of Rita’s Water Ice. Come to find out, Rita’s will be opening a new location… less than a block from my house. Cha-ching! Unfortunately we still have 2 months to wait, the grand opening of the H Street NE Rita’s, which will take up the old Kwame Brown headquarters on the north side of H, isn’t until August 1. But I have a feeling that it will be just in the nick of time with heatpocolypse coming on. 

Also in the works is a 6th and H Chinatown Location. But if you need Rita’s, like, right now, try one of the following:

Adams Morgan
1781 Florida Avenue NW

Park Triangle
3237A 14th Street NW

Rhode Island Avenue
2318 Rhode Island Avenue NE

Anacostia
1410 Good Hope Road

College Park
8900 Baltimore Avenue
