This is a great place to find all kinds of meals to bring home from the deli as well as condiments. If you find something in the deli to bring home like the duck prosciutto or green chile sausage but don't know how to prepare it you can ask the host/cashier.

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.

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!

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 their high quality coffee. They roast their beans on location. Like most coffee shops there is free wifi and great people watching here. The vibe is a young hip feel. And it is very common to see people reading and/or studying.

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.

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.

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!

The vibrant colors and earthy scents compel most folks to leave the street and venture into this delightful locally owned shop. Most of what is carried in the shop is local, fair trade, or globally made. The plants are enough for a visit, but more than likely you'll leave with something new for your home.

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!

The atmosphere in this shop is quirky without feeling too hip or twee. The owners are absolute sweethearts and will happily give recommendations. Items include candles, small plates, lotions and soaps, handbags, and many gift items for men. I also recommend heading to their clothing branch just two blocks west of the main shop.

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!
