Morrone's Water Ice

"A water ice and pretzel combo craving reminds us of the chicken or egg dilemma. We don’t know if wanting water ice is a gateway to the need for a pretzel, or if it's the other way around. We just know that you usually won’t find people eating one without the other. At West Philly’s Morrone’s, you can not only get housemade water ice with bits of fresh fruit, but you can also go for four types of warm pretzels. And whether you order with one drenched in melty cheese or baked with pepperoni, they’ll go great with any of the 18 types of water ice. Our favorite is the strawberry lemonade. It’s the perfect mix of sweet and sour, and we couldn’t care less that it turns our tongues and lips bright pink." - candis mclean

"Open daily, Morrone’s Water Ice on N. 63rd in West Philly is the spot for a number of different water ice and ice creams, and the divine combination thereof in the form of multi-layered gelati. Expect standard boardwalk-style fare, too, like funnel cakes, hot dogs, and pretzels topped with cheese." - Eater Staff, Dayna Evans, Sarah Maiellano
