Instead of our usual martinis or miller lights, my friend C and I decided to cure a nightmare Tuesday with sundaes at Margie’s Candies in North Bucktown (1960 N. Western Avenue). It’s the perfect meeting spot in between Wicker Park (where I live) and Logan Square (where C lives), right off the Western blue line stop.
The place was hopping and we had to put our name on the list in order to get a table. It was well worth the short wait. The menu alone was 2 pages of overwhelming with so many choices that all sounded like heaven. I went with the traditional Turtle sundae, C went with the mint fudge sundae. With hot fudge served on the side, and the ice cream placed in a small boat, it was seriously a caloric binge that will make you forget about your problems any day. It was my first time there, and I’ll be returning very soon.
