Things To Do
Longman & Eagle
A hotbed of whiskey, good food, loud music, and where love begins.
Lula Cafe
A wonderful farm-to-table brunch spot with local beer and cocktails. Usually a little wait, so plan to come a bit early. Great spaghetti.
Avondale Bowl
Family friendly bowling alley with drinks you actually want to drink. Highly recommended, and lane reservations are a good idea.
City Lit Books
Cute little book store with lots of new fiction and non-fiction, as well as childrens' books. Check it out while you wait for Lula :)
The Art Institute of Chicago
Major works of art that are easily accessible from the CTA blue line. A good stop if you're exploring downtown.
Chicago Athletic Association
This historic building holds multiple bars and restaurants, and is the perfect watering hole for your downtown excursions. Walk to the second floor and sit anywhere, or head to the back room and treat yourself to some incredible food at the Cherry Circle Room.
Whirlaway Lounge
The dive bar to end all dive bars. Be nice to Maria, because she is the queen of Logan Square and the sweetest heart in all of Chicago.
Gaslight Coffee Roasters
Zach's favorite coffee shop, conveniently on Milwaukee Avenue as you stroll the storefronts.
