This thrift shop is basically a museum. The kind of place where you need to visit more than once to see the things you missed on your first visit. If you want to go on an a adventure through history of odd things you come to this shop.

Even if you are just window shopping this is the place go in Chicago. The shops are a few blocks to Millennium Park and Maggie Daily Park so you could plan a family trip and end with the shopping and bring home your goods as well play in the park. You get the full city experience!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
