Award Winner 2010

Description

2010 | BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT WITH THE KIDS

The food court is the playground is the flower shop is the coffeehouse is the jewelry store is the multicultural gabfest with a soccer match on the TV overhead. For kids, Midtown Global Market is an endless adventure down aisles that can feel part souk, part spa, part cantina, with a slice of pizza, a gyro, or a taco waiting at the end. It's the perfect distillation of Lake Street's entrepreneurial immigrant surroundings, with 50 shops and stalls under one roof, plenty of free covered... More »
2009 | Best Candy Store

Have a craving for goat's-milk caramels How about strawberry-flavored bubble gum, the kind you used to chew on the school bus years ago Or maybe a miniature plastic toilet filled with sugary sweets and a button that makes a flushing sound Fiesta in America is an explosion of color, candy, and creativity, and it's well worth a visit when you need that sweet sugar high. Even sweeter: It also sells piñatas, the ultimate candy conduit for any party. More »
2008 | BEST CRAFT SHOW

Over the years, craft shows have lost the cozy, crafty coolness they once had. Afghan toilet-seat covers Lame. Lace tablecloths Eh. Footrests for your tired feet Not unless you're approaching 60. That said, crafts have resurfaced over the years with a new, hip attitude--a resurgence of stitch 'n' bitch sessions, subversive seamstresses, and ironic aprons being a few examples. At Craft-o-Rama, the creative and craft-innovative converge in one awesome shopping experience. In the last... More »
2008 | BEST FLAN

"Have you never tried my flan" Alfonso Menendez asks incredulously. "No Then you are in for a treat." And he ain't kidding. The owner of both Babalu and La Sirena Gorda obviously takes his flan just as seriously as he does the seafood for which his Midtown Global Market restaurant is more widely known. This is not the bready, eggy stuff you've had at other Mexican restaurants around town. No, this flan is a rich and creamy custard treat with just a hint of orange and caramel, chilled to... More »
2008 | BEST CANDY STORE

American candy just isn't as fun as it used to be. Though M&Ms have expanded in colors and Milky Way now comes in a friendly "lite" version, somehow it all feels like the same-old. For a real candy adventure, try United Noodles. One of the largest Asian supermarkets in the Midwest, United Noodles has a ton of exotic candies, from shortbread dipped in strawberry-milkshake-flavored white chocolate, to spicy candied ginger, to gum in little individual boxes decorated with brightly colored...

2008 | BEST MALL

It may be a bit of stretch to call the Midtown Global Market a "shopping mall," what with its decidedly un-mall-like open layout and festive atmosphere (live music acts regularly play on center stage). Shoppers seeking respite from the sprawling, chain-store mega-malls of suburbia relish Midtown for its myriad ethnic specialty shops. Where else can you buy Hmong crafts, North African dishware, and Tibetan-made jewelry under the same roof The grub is equally eclectic, ranging from West... More »
