Top Philly Summer Treats to Beat Heat Waves

"Perhaps one of the most famous spots in the city for “wooder ice,” South Philly’s John’s Water Ice has been sharing its cherished treat with the community since 1945. Mix and match, or stick with your favorite flavor from its no-frills but always refreshing old-school options like pineapple, chocolate, strawberry, and mango. Be sure to add a soft pretzel to your order for the full experience." - George Banks-Weston
