Everyone loves Italian ice, but transplants from up North will tell you its mature sibling gelatiâwhich has soft-serve custard blended into itâis the one to pine for. At Ritaâs, a Philly company that popularized its hometown Italian ice, also called water (ahem,
wooder) ice, the gelati comes in lots of flavor combinations, though the cherry ice with vanilla custard is primo. If youâre really feeling it, you can also call the gelati by its preferred Philly nomenclature: a radio ball. Got a problem with that? Didnât think so.

REGINA The Tiki Room has been part of Regina’s skateboarding culture for 25 years and now it’s seeing a surge in popularity of the sport. Noel Wendt was working at another shop before he opened the Tiki Room in May of 1996. He noticed a growing demand for skateboards, so decided it was time to launch a store dedicated to selling them. “I had been skateboarding for a number of years at that point. I had been working for a retail store called World of Trout here in town,” Wendt said. “We started selling skateboards just out of the back of that space and it just grew to the point where it needed its own identity.”

The Social Order The Walt Disney Corporation famously bills its amusement parks as “the happiest place on Earth,” but inside the company’s headquarters in Burbank, California, a conflict is brewing. In the past year, Disney executives have elevated the ideology of critical race theory into a new corporate dogma, bombarded employees with trainings on “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” “white fragility,” and “white saviors,” and launched racially segregated “affinity groups” at the company’s headquarters.
I have obtained a trove of whistleblower documents related to Disney’s “diversity and inclusion” program, called “Reimagine Tomorrow,” which paints a disturbing picture of the company’s embrace of racial politics. Multiple Disney employees, who requested anonymity out of fear of reprisals, told me that the Reimagine Tomorrow program, though perhaps noble in intent, has become deeply politicized and eng
Three years ago, Sherman’s 903 Brewing owners Jeremy and Natalie Roberts were in Florida at a beer festival, when they encountered a decidedly unusual beer style from Indianapolis’s 450 North Brewing Company. Situated next to the brewery’s booth at the festival, the Robertses noticed that 450 North’s line seemed constantly packed with people itching to try its slushy-style beers.
“We were wondering why people wanted these beers so much,” Roberts says. “And then we tried it and saw how refreshing it was. We said, ‘Look, no one else in Texas is really doing a slushy-style beer, and we need to.’”

CLEVELAND Stefan Was, an Ohio City resident with no hospitality experience, opened Porco Lounge and Tiki Room in a location that many said was cursed. The undeniable success of the business throughout the past eight years is proof that Was had a very clear vision of what he wanted to build and how people would react. But if you try to praise the owner for his foresight, he likely will pass that credit off to his staff.
The dreamy destination bar, a short distance from Cleveland s West Side Market, has been closed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020. Was says that he did not bother even attempting to reopen because he felt it would be impossible to provide guests with the same experience and level of service while maintaining a safe environment for the staff.
