Free Cupcakes and Hot Chocolate, Chica Loca Coming to Roosevelt Collection

MAGNIFICENT MILE— It's hard to turn down free cupcakes. Stop by the Sweet Ride food truck at the southeast corner of Michigan and Ohio tomorrow to get some of the hot chocolate variety. They're giving away liquid hot chocolate too. [EaterWire]

SOUTH LOOP— Park Tavern is only the beginning. The minds behind it, as well as the soon-arriving Central Standard, are now adding Chica Loca to the massive Roosevelt Collection. It's hard to turn down Mexican after a flick at the Icon. [Dish]

CHATHAM— Saturday marks the first anniversary of Garrett Popcorn's 87th Street location, and they're celebrating by giving away free Christmas ornaments. Go for some caramel corn while you're there. [EaterWire]

RIVER NORTH— There's a 500-pound sugar-sculpture of a fairie-adorned magic mountain on display at Benny's Chop House; it's made from five types of sugar and took 200 hours. A dentist's dream come true. [EaterWire]
