Just about 20 minutes up Route 28 a couple miles off the Cheswick exit(watch out for Chessie, the purple elephant on the left and just up over the rise as you come into Springdale sits Glen's Custard. I'm almost 40 and I can't remember a time when there wasn't a Glen's. In recent years they've added healthier choices like frozen yogurt and they do a gourmet hard ice cream. But stay with the classic custard---whatever flavor works for ya. My personal favorite: Maple walnut sundae with butterscotch custard. Be creative. Then grab a dozen glenwiches(yummy vanilla between 2 crispy chocolate cookies.) Hands down the best ice cream sandwich you will ever have. Then loosen your belt and head back to The Burgh fully enGlenned and knowing one day you WILL be back. (Trust me, it calls your name and they ship anywhere!)
