Grab a mug of hot chocolate and sit outside in the Windy City! Pure decadence as you watch the world walk by. A tradition we like to do when we visit Chicago.

It makes me happy I don't live in Chicago or I would weigh 300 pounds.

We opted to spend our time and money here over the nearby Hershey's store. We were greeted at the door with a sample of a new chocolate. So off to a good start!
