Polish Water Ice at the Polish American Cultural Center

It's hot as hell, you've got nothing but a dollar in your pocket and you're within shouting distance of the Polish American Cultural Center (308 Walnut St). Looks like you should grab yourself a cup of Polish Water Ice, which the PACC now carries. But what makes Polish Water Ice, which has retail shop locations in Ocean City, Wildwood and Sea Isle, so Polish? Packing in as much fruity flavor as Rita's, this Eastern Euro rendition of Philly's favorite summer treat, developed in the early '90s by Thomas B. Curyto, has a richer, more custardlike consistency. There's no dairy in the product, though — that creamy smoothness comes from a both a "secret family recipe" and the use of an Electro Freeze, or soft-serve ice cream machine. If you want ice without heading to Jersey, snag a cup of cherry, mango or watermelon at the PACC or pick some up at your local Acme.
