Where To Have a Unique Dining Experience In Chicago

"Like the pumapard or extremely rare wholphin, Sideshow Gelato is a hybrid that’s hard to wrap your mind around. This Lincoln Square gelato spot/magic show venue/dime museum looks like an old-timey circus exploded in an ice cream shop—complete with cars from everyone’s favorite carnival ride (the Scrambler) mounted to walls as seating. Plus, nearly everyone working behind the counter is an amateur magician or performer, so a scoop of gelato will probably come with a sleight-of-hand trick. The gelato itself leans a little icy, but there are lots of unique flavors that are quite tasty, plus a variety of vegan options too." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
