Close and convenient. Their Mexican food may not be 5-stars, but their horchata is to die for! A large horchata should be about $3, but it's massive and well worth the price!

Quite the trendy place for brunch. They don't take reservations and are very popular, so be sure to plan ahead if you want to stop by. There's a smaller room off to the side for coffee, donuts, etc.

This bar has quality cocktails and often features live music. Definitely a distinct ambiance here, with dim orange lighting and a throwback vibe. There IS a cover charge, but it varies based on live music and possibly day of the week. I hear it ranges from $0 to $10.

This is the stop to get off at if you're looking to explore Wicker Park/Bucktown. There is SO MUCH to do in the area, especially foodwise, such as Big Star, Piece Pizza, Geekbar, and more. Sometimes referred to as the (new) six corners.
