Ralph’s Italian Ices reopening next week

Spring might still be a few weeks away, with freezing temperatures still lingering, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early for Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices to open up shop. 

The E. Main Street business, entering its third season in downtown Riverhead, is expected to open its doors next Thursday, according to a sign on the storefront.

Ralph’s was the first business to open in the renovated building across the street from the Riverhead Project, just east of McDermott Avenue. Other businesses to open in the same building include Blue Duck Bakery and Papa John’s.
