“Ice cream was to die for. They have such great flavors there. Don't pass up the ricotta cheese and olive oil flavor. It sounds crazy but it's really sweet and very good. It was also SUPER affordable. Two large cups of ice cream (3 scoops each) was just 13 bucks and change. Can't do better than that for the quality and unique flavors. Super great value.“

Italian Ice by Raw Generation Ice Cream Shop • $
309 Morris Ave, Long Branch - 7.26 miles

“So I have done fasting before, usually once a year for 3-6 days. So I'm used to going without food but this seemed to give me the same benefits and I didn't get hangry :) I combined my juice cleanse with my brand of CBD (Raw Botanics) and found that this greatly enhanced my experience. The CBD cut down on the anxiety of going without food, helped with my sleep which was an issue and I believe helped in the overall detox. I would 100% recommend Raw Generation paired with CBD. I did the cleanse by the book no food with the exception of 1 avocado on the first night. I cut out all other supplements and vitamins for the week. I did exercise but pretty lightly. Most of the weight for me came off on the first 3 days and it seemed to plateau by day 5. So next time I do this I may just do a 3 or 5 day. My total weight loss was 10 pounds and that was the goal. Once I went back to regular food 4 pounds came right back on but after a few weeks now I'm still better than before I did the cleanse. I plan to do a cleanse like this at least a few times a year. Other benefits I had was improved complexion, energy, and digestion, and my joint pain completely went away. Raw Generation is 100% worth the money.“

“Been a while since I've seen a Tom Carvel ad (I suspect he's dipping cones in hot fudge in the heaven location now), and maybe 15+ years since I've enjoyed the custard at Carvel. Have done lotsa DQing. It's okay. And I think the dense, dense thick custard at Rita's may be a richer take on the confection. But Tom's custard was great on a hot late summer day.“

“This restaurant's food was good, but the service is not that obvious or helpful. If you haven't been there before it's not known that you order at the counter then sit down and they bring the food. There is no regular table service. They also have electronic kiosk ordering which is great once you get it, but I walked in and the people that worked there just stared at me trying to figure it out. Nobody said a word of welcome or gave a hint of what to do to order. I wasn't the only one confused. Other people on line were asking each other questions, but the counter person just watched and didn't say a word. When you finally order they shove an empty cup and number at you. Then you have to get your own drink, napkins, condiments and find your own table. When your food is ready someone marches around the restaurant with your food looking for the number they gave you. The place is big so it can be a long trip that you watch them because you don't know who's food they have. If they said a number you could wave them over, but they don't say a word... Just march. The whole system is annoying, but could be fine if the staff just helped. The burger was really good, but if you did have a problem you would have to go back up to the counter and wait on line again to get service. It's like stopping at a rest stop or a place at an amusement park.“
