Warmer weather and sunshine means business at this popular Whitestone sweet shop.nJessica Taylor and her mother, Marybeth Morgenbesser, have owned and operated Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices of Whitestone at 12-48B Clintonville St. for nine years.

“[My mom] has built such a good relationship with the community,” Taylor said. “She asks everyone who comes in where they’re from. She lets the kids go in the back and take a look at all of the flavors and colors. It’s just a good experience for the entire family.”
