A Brooklyn Adventure

At the end of the summer, Adam and I ventured from Manhattan to Brooklyn via a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. This was something I had been wanting to do for a while for many reasons, one of which was to visit Ample Hills Creamery, a Brooklyn ice cream shop that has been raved about on Buzzfeed's 44 Frozen Treats You Need to Try in NYC this Summer, Time Out NY and other websites.


What makes Ample Hills special is their commitment to using local, fresh ingredients as well as their unique and constantly changing flavors. Ample Hills has 3 permanent locations throughout Brooklyn, as well as a few ice cream carts, and we went to the Pier 5 location in Brooklyn Bridge Park. I had a rice krispie treat flavor and a dark chocolate flavor. Both were incredibly rich and satisfying. One of my favorite things about this type of rich ice cream, is that it doesn't take huge scoops or toppings to fulfill my cravings (which I have frequently).

Sorry this post came so long after the visit to Ample Hills! Life of a grad student is a little bit too busy for my liking..
