We love this cafe for its coffee and especially its baked goods. Luke loves the kale salad scone and Sophie is an avid fan of their savory and sweet biscuits.
Grab a quick bite at Johnnie’s — a local favorite for hot dogs, Italian beef, and Italian ice. Beware !! Johnnie’s is a cash-only establishment.
A well-loved local favorite, and a frequented spot for Sophie and Luke, Hole in the Wall has the best frozen custard! We highly recommend a big cone of the chocolate custard and a long walk around the neighborhoods.
A sweet place to sit and talk or walk through the greenhouses. This is a special little for spot for us, as we got engaged here!
This is the best place for a long walk, especially in the fall. We're hoping for good weather so that you can enjoy the sun and colors we have here in October!
Sign up to tour the house, or just walk around the neighborhood to see all the beautiful houses in the historic district. We love going for walks in OP!
For all of our reader friends, Oak Park was Ernest Hemingway's childhood home and features a special museum about him as an author. You can walk to the Hemingway Bistro from this house for a swanky lunch after!
