A few new casual eateries in the neighborhood have opened up and I'm always happy to hear about the expansion of our neighborhood. And dessert. Always happy with dessert. Cone is an Irish-themed ice-cream shop on Madison & Shaman, a Mexican small plates BYOB, restaurant on Chicago Ave.
Shaman is owned by Chilam Balam, who actually greeted us as soon as we walked in the door. Cute as a button. I vividly remembered the distinct taste of her tamale at Dose Market a few months ago and was just as satisfied with a full-on meal. She partners with local farmers, which are all listed on their website and the freshness of the food is Ah-Ma-Zing. And BYOB. Don't ever forget BYOB.
As for Cone, a friend and I were just strollin' along Madison and saw that every person walking by us had a cone of some colorful concoction and then we came across Cone. We both ordered a "soft serve",which as you can see from the photo below is nothing like the US version of it. The Cookie Monster ice cream is a blue-hued cookies and cream flavored treat and we brought it home for a little extra lovin'. Lots of flavors and lots of hot days left in summer to enjoy them!
