If you're in the NY area or heading here this summer, it's a must-visit. Ample Hills Creamy in Brooklyn, NY is not your typical ice cream shop. Founded by Brian Smith, a former sci-fi writer turned Willy Wonka of the local ice cream scene, this one of a kind place is dripping with character. Serving up ice cream flavors like Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, Cotton Candy, Peppermint Pattie, Stout 'n' Pretzels (Guiness and chocolate) and the very best one, Salted Crack Carmel (OMG!), every choice is the right one.
I seriously think this place is going to counteract all my hard work for this bathing suit season.
If you're local, birthday parties at Ample Hills Creamery are welcome. They even have a special bike you can ride at your party that churns a fresh batch of deliciousness for your guests. And if you feel super motivated by your whole mind bending experience to the shop, just sign up for a ice cream making class and they'll give you the scoop on how to mix the magic stuff yourself.
July is here. So is ice cream season. Can you dig it? - Stephanie M
