Di Cosmos's Italian ice in Elizabeth is a Jersey food icon. This could be its final summer.
DiCosmo's Italian Ice, Elizabeth Katerina and Giovanni. George the Iceman. Lucy Lemons. Not to be confused with the Lemon Ice Lady of Peterstown. Her name was Agnes. Oh, and Frank Sinatra.
At Fourth and High in Elizabeth’s Peterstown section, you’ll find a little green shack with a striped awning — green, white and red, the colors of the Italian flag. The couple sitting on lawn chairs outside are the owners, John and Nancy DiCosmo. They live next door. Their first date 50-plus years ago was to a bowling alley, a miniature golf course and then White Castle; Nancy still shudders at the memory of those burgers.
