Dairy Star is a nice little ice cream stand located at 3472 West Devon Avenue in Lincolnwood, Illinois, a suburb on the northern border of Chicago. They have the best soft serve ice cream in the area. The neighborhood is predominantly Jewish and the ice cream they serve is kosher. However, that means that it is also halal which draws the Muslims who also live in the area. The Christians just like the ice cream.
On summer nights you will see Orthodox Jewish families enjoying their cones, sundaes or whatever next to a table of Muslims in traditional dress. Everyone gets along. It’s better than the United Nations and there’s ice cream. Very good ice cream.

I see your pictures (the first one is just too funny) are dated 2014 – I hope you made it back there since then. Sounds like a great place.
In fact we were there last Friday.
Very cool.
Thanks, Woody
Ice Cream is the answer to world peace. I knew that! I always feel better after eating a bowl full of Blue Bell Vanilla Bean with hot fudge. Maybe we should have Dairy Star in Washington DC. 🙂
A good idea
