Magnificent Mile


On Michigan Avenue, just north of Tiffany's,
just south of Chicago Avenue.

Dishing

A couple of food places -- well, treat-making places, anyway -- you should support -- I'm shamelessly plugging them because they're very good and are in a very economically-depressed area (Youngstown, Ohio) and any support they get is a good thing...

Handel's Ice Cream.

Their Chocolate Pecan ice cream is great stuff! Truly tops! They've got a ton of flavors. You won't be disappointed. Get a quart (or three); you'll need it!

Butter Maid Bakery.

They make great sweets! Uniquely delicious chocolate chip cookies (seriously, and awesome kolachi, too, and elephant ears, and bear claws, and these walnut cookies they used to make but likely only make on special order, now). Their chocolate chip cookies, however, are a breed apart -- I've never had ones like theirs.
