We’re open at last! Twice the Mity Nice

We know we’re late getting started, but we have a good excuse – truly.

Mark and Vickie were married barely a month ago, and couldn’t concentrate on the details of Mity Nice until early June.

And since we lost our kitchen space when Papa John’s was demolished, we had to shop around for wedding rings and a kitchen partner at the same time.  And then the dog and cat … well enough of that.

Now though we’re open for the summer, and and welcomed our first customers to our tasty made-in-Detroit dairy free fat free treats.

We are thrilled to bring Ann Arbor Italian ices from two sidewalk spaces:

  • Our home base is 303 Detroit Street, right outside the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market. Come to the end of the Market where the office and bathrooms are located and go a little further – and there we are, right on your way to Tea Haus and the People’s Food Co-op. We  set up there Wednesdays and Saturdays, and occasional Sundays.
  • Our Main Street hangout is known as “Under the Clock” – and the clock is really a landmark.  We’re at the corner of Main and Washington in front of the First National Building, one of downtown’s beauties. We’ll be there Friday and Saturday nights, weather permitting and some other times too.
City rules do not allow us to set up during special events by the Main Street Association and during Art Fair so we turn into gypsies and move our wagons elsewhere those times.

So how do you, our dear customers, find out when and where we’ll be?  Our Twitter is easy – and the feed lands right on this website. Or join us on Facebook, and you’ll see some specials and join us for the Friends & Family Free Ice Frenzy, available exclusively to our Facebook friends.

So come out, say hello to the newlyweds and maybe you’ll toast us with our fresh squeezed lemonade – or our newest drink: A Pina Colada (virgin) made with Pineapple ice.

Yes, despite the slow start, it’s going to be a Mity Nice summer.
