Popular Gardens in Rogers Park

"The Lincoln Park Zoo and Lincoln Park Conservatory are both fun to wander through, but I love Lincoln Park for its cafes, boutiques, and adorable homes. Armitage Avenue is a perfect spot to boutique-hop for the afternoon. I love Art Effect for cute gifts (and travel accessories!), and Interior Define is fun to check out for home decor. If it’s one of those hot, sticky midwestern summer days and you’re not up for shopping, check out one of the nearby beaches along Lake Michigan."

The beer collection is deep, the “taco party” comes complete with a can of High Life and a shot of Old Grand-Dad, and the chocolate caramel turtle cake is alarmingly addictive.How to book: Reserve via Resy."
