The wait for Ralph’s Italian Ices is over!
Bumped into Justin , the owner of Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices at 801 Washington Street yesterday.
Worried that they’d never open – I was surprised to find out that their soft opening is tomorrow, Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010! They said they’ll be ready to go with tons of choices, and what they claim as the “best value” in Hoboken. Large Ices or Ice Creams are about $3.50, and they’re proud to stand by their big selection of flavors and toppings.
They haven’t finalized their hours yet – but will ease into later hours during warmer months.
Good for them to finally be opening in time for the massive Hoboken St. Patrick’s Parade rush! (open till midnight on the big parade day…)

Just in time for… Winter?
Not sure what the holdup is at Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices that’s been in the works over at 8th and Washington – but cold weather is coming, and that just isn’t synonymous with “frozen treats” now is it? From the evidence on scene, it seems like a PSE&G truck was there, and some digging was being done on the front… so perhaps some “technical glitches” are holding up the opening…
