Indulge in a glass of wine or a gluten-free cupcake while perusing the stacks. The shop has a great selection of children's literature and YA, along with a ton of genre fiction. It's also located directly across from the "Square," which is a frequent spot for artist performances.

You should visit for gifts and to update your wardrobe. There are good store options for children as well. When you go to Water Tower Place plan on eating somewhere outside of the mall because your choices are pretty slim inside the mall.

Not only is this shop a good place to find gifts but it is an experience! I've never been to China but I every time I go I feel like I am being transported to China for a few minutes. This place is so affordable you most defiantly come out of the shop with something fun!

This place is big for a local book shop and also carries a great amount of ephemera (pronoun buttons, t-shirts with book covers, social justice posters). They are a neighborhood staple and should not be missed if you're in Andersonville!

For groceries you can find fresh produce, meats, fish, bread, and cheese. There is a nice selection for breakfast with a couple cafes as well as a good crepe restaurant with sweet and savory crepes. The savory crepes kind of look like a burrito. And sushi, soups, grilled food, and many more!

This is a great place for antiques and second hand good especially since it is so large there is a lot to sift through. More than 50% of the revenue goes to Howard Brown Health Center clients who are under or uninsured.

While the Chicago winters can be bitter, it's a great way to get outside and make the best of all the holiday festivities. There are plenty of great treats and foods to try, lots of quaint shops for cute trinkets, and of course the giant Christmas tree. Duck inside the hut for cover from the weather and enjoy some hot wine or a warm meal.
