Yes, you might be lucky enough to capture this event, or better yet, participate in it. It moves all over town so the chances you will see it are slim… and only once a month! Celebrate your bike and explore neighborhoods of Chicago you never knew existed. Grab some Dew&JD and your favorite candy to share with this vibrant community. Plan to attend the last Friday of every month at Daley Plaza for an energy-charged ride. “Happy Friday!”

Hidden gem of a coffee house tucked away in Lincoln Park. Lovely and modern two-story space of contemporary design with interesting artwork. Serving locally sourced coffee, pastries and breads.

Wide range of music since 1957. Classes, private lessons, workshops, visual arts and concerts for all ages, abilities and backgrounds. Two locations; combined facilities include 425-seat and two 150-seat concert halls, 64 classrooms, two music stores, café and a resource center.

Not many options for fresh and authentic bagels in Chicago, but NYC more than satisfies. Several additional locations.

Highest quality spices and herbs from all over the world, since 1957. Special spice blends based on Chicago neighborhoods make great gifts. Back of the Yards rub is good on anything.

In Old Town since 1963, chocolates made fresh daily. Dipped apples and strawberries and turtles are winners. Customized chocolates in any shape.

Artistically designed flower and plant shops.

Showcasing premium cigars and accessories since 1968.

Top aquarium store since 1975. Like walking into the Shedd Aquarium with less parking hassle and free admission.

Incredibly beautiful salon on lovely Wrightwood Avenue; clean, modern and vintage at the same time… fresh! Congratulations Michael Davis and Stevie Smith for bringing the salon to reality and being masters at what they do.
