Margie’s
Margie’s has held court at Bucktown’s edge for over 80 years, dipping ice-cream sundaes for everyone from Al Capone to the Beatles (check the wall photos). Sure, you can admire the old-fashioned Tiffany lamps, the marble soda fountain and the booths with minijukeboxes. But the star is the hot fudge, unbelievably thick, rich and bountiful, served in its own silver pot. Burgers and sandwiches are just clumsy foreplay to the 50 massive sundaes on offer.

Hoosier Mama Pie Company
There’s a statistic out there saying one out of five people have eaten an entire pie solo. Hoosier Mama is your place to do it. Pastry chef Paula Haney hand rolls and crimps her dough, then plumps it with fruit or creamy fillings. Favorites include the fat banana cream, chocolate chess (nicknamed the ‘brownie pie’) and classic apple (flavored with Chinese five-spice powder). Fridays she offers a pie ‘flight’ (three small slices for $8). Seating is limited in the itty-bitty storefront.
