So I'm going to start off with a non-restaurant. That is, depending on how much you eat here and what you consider a restaurant.
Windy City Sweets
If you don't know about it already, you're really missing out. If you have kids and haven't taken them there, you may want to reconsider your parenting skills. It's an amazing candy and ice cream store located just north of the Nettelhorst Elementary School in East Lakeview. With all of the choices here, you'd think I'd have tried them all and could give you the full rundown. But, I typically get the same thing every time. Mint Chip ice cream. Very creamy ice cream with just the right amount of chocolate chunks. Not too minty. I don't need actual mint leaves in my ice cream and I don't want it to taste like toothpaste. This Mint Chip (or mint chocolate chip) is fantastic. Yes, I've tried other ice creams flavors there, but this is my go-to. The staff is very nice there and the kids love looking at all the candy. They don't love when we tell them they can't have any. Note: if you have a 5 year old who likes chocolate ice cream, have him or her wear a shirt you can throw out afterwards. I'm not sure what's in that chocolate, but it doesn't come out. This is also the place to come for hand made dipped items including dipped Ritz crackers, Oreos, Twinkies, etc. So, get a bunch of those. Toss our your latest diet and indulge.
That's my scoop on Windy City.
It's easily one of the top ice cream/candy stores in the City.
