点评:Every four weeks, I engage in a ritual designed to make me look good (as good as an 85-year-old retired Chicagoan can look, that is), feel good (ditto) and fill my innards with tasty, creamy Fannie May chocolates. I get a haircut (I still have enough hair on my head to cut) and manicure at Anna George Salon in Illinois Center, then walk to the Fannie May store at 343 North Michigan Avenue, at the southeast corner of Wacker Drive and North Michigan Avenue, across the street from the Michigan Avenue Bridge. There, I'm greeted by Arlene, a 20-year veteran who recalls (like me) when Fannie May had three locations on the Magnificent Mile and knows my monthly order by heart. One one-pound box of dark chocolate mays or buttercreams and one one-pound box of assorted chocolates chosen by me. Six milk chocolate pixies, the company's best seller ever since they were introduced in 1946, three raspberry buttercreams, three orange buttercreams, three lemon buttercreams, three strawberry buttercreams, three dark chocolate buttercreams, three milk chocolate buttercreams, three caramel buttercreams and three Trinidads. I"ve been enjoying the creamy taste of Fannie May chocolates since my mother used to bring them home from shopping trips in the 1950s. If there is anything more pleasing to my taste buds than a Fannie May chocolate, I haven't found it yet. Fannie May opened its first store in Chicago in 1920. Today, it has 62 stores nationwide, 46 in Illinois. Open from 10 to 7 Monday through Thursday, 9 to 8 on Friday and Saturday and 9 to 6 on Sunday, the flagship store at Wacker and North Michigan offers 118 products. Stop by. Arlene will be happy to show them to you.
翻译:每四周,我都会进行一次例行活动,让我看起来精神饱满(就像一个 85 岁的芝加哥退休老人能达到的水平一样),感觉良好(其实也是如此),并用美味、香浓的 Fannie May 巧克力填满我的内心。我会在伊利诺伊中心的 Anna George Salon 理发(我头上的头发还够剪的)和做指甲,然后步行到位于北密歇根大道 343 号的 Fannie May 商店,该店位于瓦克大道和北密歇根大道的东南角,密歇根大道桥对面。在那里,我受到了在商店工作了 20 年的 Arlene 的欢迎,她像我一样回忆起 Fannie May 在壮丽大道上有三家分店的情景,并且对我每月的订单了如指掌。一盒一磅重的黑巧克力 mays 或奶油糖霜巧克力和一盒一磅重的什锦巧克力,由我挑选。六款牛奶巧克力精灵,自1946年推出以来一直是该公司最畅销的产品;三款覆盆子奶油霜,三款橙子奶油霜,三款柠檬奶油霜,三款草莓奶油霜,三款黑巧克力奶油霜,三款牛奶巧克力奶油霜,三款焦糖奶油霜和三款特立尼达巧克力。自从20世纪50年代我母亲购物时带回家以来,我一直很喜欢范妮·梅巧克力的奶油味。如果说还有什么比范妮·梅巧克力更能满足我的味蕾,那我还没找到。范妮·梅于1920年在芝加哥开设了第一家门店。如今,它在全国拥有62家门店,其中46家位于伊利诺伊州。位于瓦克街和北密歇根街的旗舰店营业时间为周一至周四上午10点至晚上7点,周五和周六上午9点至晚上8点,周日上午9点至晚上6点,提供118种产品。欢迎光临,阿琳很乐意为您介绍。
