Corned Beef, Latkes and Hot Fudge Sundaes on a Sunday
Please come on out for a classic Fast (15-17 mph) ride to the famous Manny’s Deli just off Roosevelt Road and Jefferson south of the Loop. A favorite of Chicago politicians as well as the general public, Manny’s is an institution of deli delights including one of the best corned beef sandwiches and potato pancakes, anywhere. Founded in 1942, this is a family run institution where everything, including the corned beef is homemade. After lunch, we will ride to Margie’s Candies on Western Avenue. A Chicago landmark for over a century, this old fashioned candy store and ice cream parlor will provide the perfect dessert for the ride back to Wilmette. Total distance approximately 40 miles. The route TBA closer to the date of the ride.
