Original Rainbow Cone will start this year’s ice cream season March 4, according to the shop’s Facebook page.
The iconic Beverly ice cream shop closes each winter; for many Chicagoans, the reopening marks the unofficial march toward warmer weather.
If you’ve never had a Rainbow Cone, it’s a cone piled with chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House (vanilla with cherries and walnuts) and pistachio ice creams — in flat slices, not scoops — and topped off with orange sherbet.
A cone cost just 13 cents in 1926, when the shop first opened. Today, a small is $4.03 and a large is $5.21 (up from $3.39 and $4.99, respectively, last season).
The shop opened a location on Navy Pier in summer 2016.
9233 S. Western Ave., 773-238-7075.
