Two other great little specialty shops that we've been to are The Chicago Popcorn Works and Nuts on Clark, both within walking distance of our apartment. Both of these stores specialize in something called "Chicago mix" which is a combination of cheesecorn and caramel corn. Mmmm. When you walk by the Popcorn Works you can smell the caramel corn, even in the middle of winter. We think they must have some sort of elaborate exhaust system rigged up emitting smells that will entice the casual passer-by in ;^) Nuts on Clark is just down the block from Wrigley Field. It comes by its name honestly. This is quite an eccentric place, a real slice of Chicago life! Fun fact: Saveur Magazine voted Nuts on Clark's caramel corn the best in the country. They'll get no argument here!
