Help!! Need Italian Ice on the UWS

I've lived in 2 different neighborhoods in the UWS over the past 3+ years, and I still can't consistently find a place that sells italian ice (even in the summer!!). I only see carts at the corner of 96th and B'way, but they're there very inconsistently. Almost none of the pizza places have it. Am I missing something? Where can I find italian ice?

3 days in LA - can anyone suggest a Chowhound Tour?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think one afternoon will be ear-marked for San Gabriel Valley. As someone of Chinese descent, I have to see what this area offers. I also plan on trying the Mexican fare while in LA, since there is very little authentic Mexican in NYC. Any other high end recs? What about sushi/Japanese?

Original Poster here - We will be staying in Santa Monica or Malibu, and we plan on renting a car. I assume we can park it almost anywhere in LA, right? Thanks for the quick replies! All suggests are greatly appreciated! We're probably looking for one or two high end dinners, but for the rest we're looking for divey to casual fare.

I always hear such great things about the food in Los Angeles. I will be in town for 3 days in October. Can anyone suggest some can't miss local fare? I'm from New York City, so I know it's easy to eat at the wrong places in big cities. I like everything, from $3 bowls of ramen to $100 steaks, it just has to be good. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Italian Ice on the UWS

Are there any places to get italian ice on the UWS? Occasionally we'll find a lady with the ice cart at the corner of 96th and B'way, but we have checked every pizzeria, italian restaurant and Hot & Crusty, and no one seems to carry it. Does anyone else find this strange?
