2nd Sunday Chapter Ryde
What could possibly make the CIBC's Second Sunday afternoon Spyder Ryde any better? How about, oh I don't know, say “ICE CREAM”!
We will cruise down to beautiful Columbus, IN for a visit to the unique ice cream parlor called Zaharakos.
ThrillList.com selected Zaharakos as The Best Ice Cream Shop in the state of Indiana.
Three Greek brothers opened Zaharakos at the turn of the century. The 19th century. Yes, Zaharakos has been giving Columbus its sweets fix nearly continuously for 117 years. Sadly, there was a brief closure in the 2000s when the last remaining descendant (running the establishment) passed away, but a local businessman took over and preserved one of the most singular experiences for any American who cares about ice cream, history, or (hopefully) both. The homemade sodas and sundaes taste like a simpler time, though some of that could come from the fact that it feels like you’re eating in an ice cream museum, with much of the shop’s original fixtures in decor still intact. Oh, and if you want to go to an ACTUAL ice cream museum, they now operate one on the second floor with stuff like soda fountains that predate the civil war. -- ML
