HAVE A COFFEE! Mel usually gets the Purple Chai.
GRAB BRUNCH! I recommend the everything. Everything.
READ A BOOK! Quinn probably gets a new one every month.
SIT AROUND! Simple statement of fact: this is the best park, with or without secret cocktails.
RUN! (or walk or bike) This became our main running route when we moved out to Ravenswood together.
GO THRIFTING! If you get all the cool stuff, then maybe Mel will stop bringing new things home.
HAVE A DRINK! Quinn worked here for five years. It's where we went to celebrate after we signed our first lease!
HAVE ANOTHER DRINK! They have delicious non-alcoholic options, too. This was the first spot we visited for a drink after the pandemic hit.
DANCE! Get really dressed up on a weeknight and listen to some music! And while you're there, try to find the picture of Mel's grandpa behind the bar.
ORDER A MILKSHAKE! (even/especially if you're lactose intolerant)
JUST... BE HERE! See a play, grab a drink or a coffee, see another play, repeat.
DINE! Did Mel wake up to these food smells coming through her window every morning in college? Yes. Did we used to go here together before we dated? Yes. Is this the first place we went after we got engaged? Also yes.
