Take a chill at this old-fashioned frozen custard stand in Lakeview. For those of you new to this classic treat, it was originally created at Coney Island at the turn of the century. Its smooth texture lies somewhere between hard ice cream and soft serve. For added indulgence, try a "concrete," with cookies, candy or fruit folded in. Also on the menu are shakes, malts, fresh baked cookies and brownies, and Chicago-style hot dogs. Italian ice is made on-site daily. Scoot your dog to the walk-up window for a miniature cone.
