"Water ice — or as locals pronounce it, “wooder ice” — is a summertime treat that probably has its origins with the frozen granita that Sicilian immigrants brought with them. Today, though, it’s all Philly. The texture is somewhere between sorbet and an Icee, and John’s is one of the city’s favorite spots for it. On summer evenings, join the line of families, couples, and individuals cooling off with cherry, lemon, or one of the special seasonal flavors like blueberry or cantaloupe." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
