So there is a place over in Little Italy on Taylor St. called Mario's Italian Lemon Ice. They serve... wait for it... yep, lemon ice. Dad has been going to this place since he was three or four years old mowing through his favorite blend of lemon ice.
Well, he and mom started taking me a couple years ago. We'd get lemon ice and sit on a stoop and eat it together, and it was pretty much his favorite thing to do.
Well, tonight was Mae's Mario's Baptism and to put it bluntly, she was not disappointed. So we gathered our ice (Mom's favorite - cantaloupe | Dad & Mae split watermelon | I got strawberry) and went around the corner and sat up against the wall and enjoyed. No need to narrate each picture, they all tell the same story - one fantastic evening.
