Get over to Cleo's on Mondays for their 50 cent wings, some of the best in the city. Even better if there is a Blackhawks game as the bar explodes with every goal. Also one of the few bars in the area to show International Football matches, and the revolving daily food/drink specials is a welcomed touch.

Unusual does not accurately describe this gourmet gelato and sorbet. Good luck choosing between the goat cheese-cashew caramel, sesame fig chocolate chip, Mexican hot chocolate or try the whiskey gelato bar. The creamy whisky-spiked gelato dipped in milk chocolate is unlike any dessert have ever had.

Bongo Room is like the Candy Land of breakfast and brunch restaurants. The menu is filled with absolute ridiculousness, including items from the breakfast, brunch, and specials menu. If white chocolate and caramel pretzel pancakes don't sound crazy enough, opt for chocolate tower french toast, which is in fact a respectable sized tower. And if you still don't think Bongo Room is pushing the edge, we're not sure how you can argue with Oreo and praline flapjacks, complete with crushed Oreo cookies, warm praline sauce, and chocolate creme anglaise.

A local BYOB favorite eclectic spot with a bit of a hipster scene.
Make sure to order from the blackboard for a more diverse experience. *Update* Due to Covid the owner's have transformed this space into a Gourmet Takeout Pizza portal. They have eliminated the seating inside and you can now order and pick-up high end gourmet slices from the counter of the alley. Still a favorite spot.
