Summer is the perfect
excuse to eat ice cream, especially if you live up north! Soon, the warm,
longer days of summer will have turned into chilly winter days. Celebrate long
nights and sunny days by eating everyone’s favorite summer treat! Sure, you
could hit up the local grocery store for a pint, but this year, we are
challenging you to think local! Here are some of our local Chicago ice cream
suggestions:
ü Zarlengo’s Italian Ice. Featuring
Italian ice, gelato, and “novelties,” Zarlengo’s serves up Italian favorites.
Not limited to ice cream, their menu offers shakes, malts, floats and slushies!
ü Duff’s Dogs. Duff’s
is pretty much a Chicago tradition! Not limited to ice cream, Duff’s offers a
menu full of all-American favorites from burgers and hot dogs, to deliciously fried
tater tots. Sundae’s are super cheap and
come with whipped cream and a cherry on top!
ü Scooter’s Frozen Custard.
Locally owned and locally sourced, Scooters is not to be missed! Our favorites
are their “concretes” which consists of custard with loads of toppings and
fill-ins churned so hard you can hold them upside down and they will stay
together! Yum!
ü The Brown Ice Cream Parlor. This
old-fashioned ice cream parlor makes their own ice cream and root beer, which
makes their root beer float the best in the Midwest! Check out their specialty Sundays
or an ice creamachino.
Whether you are flying in or out of Chicago’s Midway
Airport, there is always enough time to catch a sweet bite to eat before
leaving your car with Midway EZ
Parking.
