Yes, they have one store in Chicago, one store in Charleston, SC and a seasonal store somewhere in NYC.

I don't know what their plans for expansion are but I hope they don't get too big for their own good.

Jenni's ice cream and raising canes are some if the very few things I miss about Ohio.

FOR SURE.

We (wife, kids and I) went down to Isle of Palms in July to go to the beach and we made sure to go into Charleston one evening to get ice cream there. We were a little worried it wouldn't be as good as the original stores in Ohio, but it was.

Go and try ALL of the flavors. All of them. Seriously, they are not stingy on the samples so try as many as you want.

If you like ice cream, even a little bit you must go here:

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
3404 N Southport Ave
Chicago, IL 60657

Seriously, one of the best ice cream places in the country.

At night it depends on the neighborhood. If your like downtown/downtown theres not a whole bunch to do that's not super expensive. You have to hit up like goldcoast or oldtown.

You pretty much can just walk north on michigan and you'll end up in goldcoast. You'll be able to tell when you get there because the streets will be lined with bars etc.

*map*

Also, because this is a miata forum. Over by Wrigley field is boys town, which honestly has some awesome bars over there too. But that's more then likely out of walking distance.

The only thing to remember is anything south of Roosevelt is considered southside, north of it is downtown. In my opinion, you don't really want to be too far south of roosevelt when it gets dark out. UIC campus are is nice but it gets sketchy pretty quickly.Anything downtown or north/west of downtown you're fine.

I'd also suggest you try to check out all the little different ethnic areas like chinatown, greektown, little italy, little mexico etc. You can pretty much google those names and find directions.

I've done the boat tour. If you're interested in history, design, and some decent sight seeing it's a great time. Otherwise it's kinda boring. But i'm a huge nerd so i loved it.

Aquarium was good. We ran out of time for the planetarium.
