    After ice skating at Elm Street Park, we figured the next family stop had to be Graeter’s ice cream. We all tried different flavors—Buckeye Blitz, Coconut Chocolate Chip, S’mores, and their famous Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip—and everyone loved every single one. It’s fair to say Graeter’s is batting 1.000 when it comes to ice cream. For what it’s worth, my brother always said it was his favorite during his medical residency in Columbus. It’s a local staple, and for good reason. We’ll definitely be back.
