Margie's Candies, Chicago, Ill.

Half candy shop, half ice cream parlor, Margie's Candies has been operating in Chicago since 1921. One taste of the all-natural ice creams made at the store and you'll understand why Margie's has been a local favorite for more than 80 years. It's rumored that Al Capone was a repeat customer, and the Beatles stopped by for sundaes during their 1965 concert at Chicago's Comiskey Park. In addition to homemade ice creams and candies, Margie's serves up thick milkshakes, root beer floats, and "the world's largest sundae," made with a staggering half-gallon of ice cream.
