"A second location of Kurimu has opened in Wicker Park. This is great news, because the original location in University Village has incredibly creamy soft serve, delicious boba tea, and is on our list of the Best Ice Cream In Chicago." - adrian kane

"A Japanese-style ice cream mini-chain with Chicago locations in Wicker Park and Little Italy (plus a suburban outpost in Schaumburg) is staging a Peanuts-themed pop-up inspired by the owner’s sister and previous character collaborations; customers can expect cross-branded treats, décor, and merchandise as part of a seasonal takeover that will run through the end of March 2023 in the city shops (and for a full year at the suburban location), with plans to expand similar collaborations in the future." - Naomi Waxman
"For a limited run through July, this Japanese-style ice cream shop turned its Wicker Park outpost into a cheery Care Bears pop-up, offering colorful soft-serve in themed flavors—Care Bear Stare (purple yam, jackfruit, and coconut), Love-A-Lot Strawberry, and Funshine Pineapple Swirl—alongside plush collab merchandise, branded tees and tote bags, nostalgic wall decals, and Instagram-ready decor. Owner Ming Ng spent nearly a year securing licensing and fine-tuning details to coincide with the Care Bears' 40th anniversary, creating a nostalgia-forward, family-friendly experience designed to lift spirits after a gloomy spring. The high-profile collaboration also signals plans for expansion (including a suburban location) and future themed events such as a Snoopy pop-up for the holidays." - Naomi Waxman
