Stan's Donuts & Coffee

“Second favorite brunch spot in the neighborhood, great for a quick meal before you head back to Ohare on the train. Weekends are pretty busy so it's best to try this one during the week. They are also open for lunch and dinner but we have other recommendations for those.”

“Big Star is a bourbon and beer-focused, taco-slinging, late-night honky-tonk in the heart of Chicago’s Wicker Park and Wrigleyville neighborhoods. Executive Chef Paul Kahan and Chef de Cuisine Chris Miller’s menu, inspired by authentic Mexican street food, is complemented by an extensive house-selected single barrel bourbon program. Housed in a defunct 1940's gas station, the Wicker Park taqueria’s soundtrack of classic country and rock & roll is selected and spun by bar staff. They operate on a first come, first serve basis and don't take reservations. The corner of North Ave. and Damen Ave. (1531 N. Damen Ave.).”

“One of my all-time favorite Pizza places plus they have awesome selection of craft beers.”

“'80s-themed rustic coffee shop, complete with a DeLorean, pouring locally roasted coffee.”

“Hidden entrance, look for a mural on the side of building and the door in the middle of it all. Creative cocktails & small bites define this sophisticated, stylish bar.”
