Bridges, no not another post on the covered bridges.

Bridges is the long awaited new dining spot in Greencastle. We had heard about this place for a bout a year before they officially opened. So naturally we were very excited to try this new pizza and wine bar that had some strong Depauw ties.
 The atmosphere is amazing and the dinning spans over 3 levels including roof top seating with a view of the square and Courthouse.  Right as you walk in your eye is drawn to the the large brick pizza oven shipped in from Italy. The smell from the brick oven browning the edges of the bread is intoxicating. You can tell you have found something different in Putnam County.
   Alyssa and I are use to the foodie establishments in Indy and such so we were excited to see a new
kind of food hit the local scene.
   Since the menu changes often we have been able to try it 3 times and had a different menu each time with a few Items staying the same. They have a variety of specialty pizzas that you won't find

anywhere. With ingredients like pulled port, steak, shrimp , and a line of fresh vegetables it is hard to pick a bad one. Along with the brick oven unique pizzas they offer a selection of pasta dish's that are all made in house. Alyssa found a sweet potato nuchi that she has not been able to forget. Although the pasta is very tasty I found that the bet bet for the price is to stick with one of the pizzas especially when you consider the price per bite. 
  On top of all the amazing food, and warming decor, Bridges also features a complete bar with wines and cocktails you can't find in most establishments in Putnam County. We look forward to many more slices from the folks at Bridges.

Scoops is Open Again!

One off our Families favorite spot in utnam County is the Greencastle square. Walking around the buzz bomb, stoppinng in the bookstore, shoppinng for antiques, browsing the boutiques, or grabbing a drink at one of many resturants on the square.
     

 Our newly discovered tresure is Scoops ice cream parlor. With a crazy amount of flavors and options any one will find a little tasteful bliss in this little Ice cream shop.
         Flavors range from traditional flavors like choclate, vanilla, mint choclate chip, and cookie dough to more unique flavors like cotton candy or bubble gum. Everything I tried was amazing.
Grayson grabbed his usaul and went with the cookie dough, for the life of me I can not get him to try any other flavor but I guess when it works why fix it right?

          Layla the dare devil of the Barrett clan went with the cotton cany and it tasted just like the mix of the red and blue cotton candy. Both kids opted for the waffle cone which in my mind is like a second dessert.
        On top of ice cream by the scoop they also have mixes that are a lot like blizzards, with tons of candy and topping choices. So if the waffle cone is not your jam then you can create your own blend with some of the topping they have.
        Alyssa and I went for the malt and shake. This was a pretty unique thing I haven't experinced many Ice cream shops do. You can pick any flavor or flavors of the ice cream they have and they will make it into a shake or malt so Alyssa and I both mixed dark choclate Ice cream with a coffee Ice cream and had them make it into a shake.
        It was a fun and enjoyble time that didnt cost crazy money. The kids loved it and we will most likely be back weekly.
     
  Now that the sunshine has blessed Indiana again Scoops Ice cream parlor is back open for the season. Located right of the square in Greencastle scoops is only 15 minutes form C Bar C. So don't forget to stop by while at an event here at C Bar C.

Scoops Can be found at : 13 S Indiana St, Greencastle, IN 46135. You can also find them on the C Bar C App under Our Favs!
