When Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice heard the Space Shuttle Enterprise was flying over Liberty state Park in Jersey City I grabbed my video and drove over to Jersey City to get some footage near the Statue of Liberty from the Jersey side. Pretty amazing- Enterprise actually never flew into space and was the prototype that tested the Space Shuttle for the Challenger.

Our company ran the concessions by the ferry going to the Statue of Liberty from the 100th Birthday of Lady Liberty in 1986 till shortly after 9/11 in 2001. We sold various Statue of Liberty Souvenirs, and fast food items. However, our number one item we sold to tourists going to the Statue of Liberty was Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice. We would outsell Haagen-Dazs 2 to 1 at the same price in our concession stand. People from all over the world would travel to see the Statue of Liberty in New York City and enjoy a Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice along the way.
