The 85-year-old dessert company Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices & Ice Cream is making its way back to Manhattan. The Staten Island-based dessert chain, just signed a 10-year lease for 400 s/f at 362 2nd Avenue in Gramercy. ABS Partners Real Estate’s Dean Valentino and Mark Tergeson represented the tenant and the building owner, Akelius.

Ralph’s has outposts in Staten Island, Long Island, Queens, Westchester County and northern Jersey, but the latest lease marks its return to Manhattan. The company had to leave its former 144 East 24th Street location after the building was sold and the retail spaces were replaced by branded restaurants.
