It’s Jay Piccirillo aka Ice Man from Micalizzi’s Italian Ices at 712 Madison Avenue in Bridgeport!   Micalizzi’s is one of Bridgeport’s oldest existing business and landmark.    They started in 1931 with the Piccirillo family taking over in 1977.  Probably most famous for their awesome lemon Italian Ice or their piña colada ices, I sampled their canoli ice, needless to say it was awesome.  Jay will be advertising throughout the summer the many flavors they have to choose from.  What I did not know was they also have soft and hard ice cream and sundaes too!  I’m pictured here with Jay with my all time favorite soft serve chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles.    Ooooh it was sooooo good!
