Margie's Candies

This family-run candy and ice-cream shop hasn't changed much since it opened in 1921. It still offers some of the city's finest handmade fudge, whether it comes in a box or melted over a banana split served in a clamshell dish. The store is known for its turtles -- chocolate-covered pecan and caramel clusters -- and may be the only place in the city still selling rock candy on wooden sticks.

1960 N. Western Ave, Just north of Armitage AvePhone: 773/384-1035.Subway/El: Blue Line to Western.
