Free Ices at Rita's on the First Day of Spring

This Wednesday is the official first day of spring...hard to believe since I just trudged through ice pellets on my way home from work! Luckily, it doesn't have to feel like spring in order for Rita's to continue their annual tradition of serving free ices on the first day of the season. On March 19th, head to any of the Rita franchises across the country between 12 and 9 PM to snag a full size, free Italian ice in your favorite flavor. The only Rita's in New York is on the Upper West Side (full address below) but don't think that's going to stop this downtown dweller from trekking uptown to enjoy one of their many delicious flavors. I mean, who would pass up the chance to try Swedish Fish flavored Italian ice? Check out their website to see pictures from years passed and don't forget to mark your own calendars so you can join in on the tradition.
