Next week, Rameet is getting married. This weekend, she celebrated her last week of bachelorette-dom with her best girlfriends. One must-have in their celebration: Diddy Riese.
Diddy Riese is a Los Angeles landmark. Since 1983, Diddy Riese has been serving Los Angeleans with the best ice cream cookie sandwiches. Yes, 2 fresh baked cookies of your choice sandwiching a scoop of Dreyers ice cream. More than enough to keep hearts happy. And the best part - all of this for $1.50 each. A slice of heaven for less than 2 dollars.
With a deal this good, you can imagine why there's always a line of customers spanning the block where Diddy Riese sits. This night was no different. I was one of those in the line. Not to be bothered by the long line or the chilly night. Ice cream cookie sandwich heaven was soon to be mine.
Then along came a group of 8 women. One woman yelled to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is my sister Rameet. Next week she is getting married. And she really wants ice cream. In honor of her wedding, may she please step to the front of the line for ice cream?!"
Without hesitation, individuals in the crowd opened to let her in, right the the front of the line. "Congratulations," some called. "Sure, go ahead," others invited.
This line of more than 75 people (yes, I counted) granted Rameet one of her last single-woman wishes, an ice cream cookie sandwich on demand.
Congratulations, Rameet! Cheers to many years of happiness, love, and Diddy Riese!
