Chicago Illinois, Humboldt Park Posts

Neighborhood family owned garden center and floral shop.

Modern, classic soda fountain with a twist.

Unexpected gem in the center of the Humboldt Park eating, drinking and shopping action. Simple dining room serving edited menu day and night, with lovely attention to detail. Superb cocktail selection as well.

Curated shop of vintage modern goods. Many Chicago made items and vibrant textiles.

Coffee, donuts, spirits and cigars served behind (or around the corner) from the California Clipper.

Curiosity shop in Humboldt Park. Gallery, purveyor of oddments, used bookstore and event space.

Spirit-forward cocktail menu that changes daily. Classic art deco tavern that every neighborhood should have. “What should I drink?”

Meat-focused brasserie with a neighborhood vibe, influenced by France and Germany. Start with crudite with green goddess and then be a carnivore.

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!”

Third place birthplace of Dark Matter Coffee. Knowledgable staff and chill decor.

Small and dimly lit; Weegee’s produces top=notch cocktails. Crime scene photos from the bar’s namesake photojournalist.

Cocktails prepared to perfection and reasonably priced. Interesting menu in smartly styled space.

Bar, gallery and record label with live music and DJs seven nights. Award winning cocktails with a commitment to the arts.

Established 1937. Classic cocktails with a few surprises served in classic, vaguely Wisconsin supper club space. Before the revamp Mai Tais, Rusty Nails, Rob Roys (perfect), Singapore Slings, and the beloved California Egg Creams were necessary to drink. Perfect design, smart crowd and live music often. Keep your eyes open for Tamale Man. Grape soda may be on the gun and no television.

From scratch organic and locally sourced foods. Vegetarian and carnivore friendly. Flying breakfast bowl is a hit. Open for breakfast and lunch.

Charcuterie, cheese, fine selection of beer, wine and spirits served in small homey room. Burger is top notch.

Small and ever changing menu using the freshest ingredients. BYOB.

Three pies daily by the slice or take a whole pie home; fruit, sweet, savory. Freshly roasted coffee and biscuits. Weather permitting, grab a sweat in the backyard. Simplicity works.
