It is summer in Chicago, but you do not want to go into a drug store to buy any old ice cream, you want the real thing. If this is the case, make a trip to Bucktown and visit Margie's. Since 1921, Margie's has been making its own candy and ice cream, and it still uses only the best ingredients to produce the best product in Chicago. Family owned for generations, this spot has withstood the brutal ups-and-downs of this neighborhood for over 70 years. Well worth a visit, even for the most discriminating sweet tooth.
