Rainbow Cone, Gino’s East Team Up for Magnificent Mile

The Original Rainbow Cone, a Chicago tradition for over 95 years, has formed a partnership with Gino’s East, a legendary name in deep-dish pizza. This collaboration will bring together two of the city’s oldest and most iconic restaurants, creating a culinary destination like no other. The Original Rainbow Cone will be adding a kiosk to the Gino’s East Superior Street location (162 E Superior St, Chicago, IL 60611), aptly named Magnificent Mile, offering locals and tourists a taste of both sweet and savory delights.

Scheduled to open its doors on June 29, Magnificent Mile will mark the first-ever dual-brand collaboration between Rainbow Cone and Gino’s East. This innovative concept aims to provide visitors with an unforgettable experience, showcasing the rich history and flavors of both establishments.

Their commitment to quality ingredients and delightful combinations has made them a go-to destination for families, food enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a memorable treat.
