Best Cappuccino I've had at a great price! They have barrels of coffee beans from all over the world, and staff is friendly. Great option if you want to shop local versus chain coffee shop.

Favorite Diner in the area for weekend breakfast. They have great food (much better than Melrose diner), great prices, and staff is great. The lady who owns it is a Lakeview celebrity. No alcohol, credit cards accepted.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is my favorite local dive bar. It's not fancy at all, but the locals love it. Darts, pool, Irish bartenders, cheap drinks, located in a basement that is often hidden from tourists.

Entertainment & Activities
They play the independent movies that AMCs don't typically carry. If you want to see something other than the Avengers, definitely check out movie times here.

If you feel like a good standup show, Laugh Factory has multiple shows a week, and they are always really cheap. There's a box office on-site or you can order online day-of usually. I've seen some big comics here, but the smaller shows are just as good!

This Mariano's just opened in September 2016 and it's been the talk of the neighborhood! It's more than just a grocery store- it has a wine bar, piano player, nutella bar, sushi bar, etc. on the first floor and your standard grocery items upstairs.

Sightseeing
You can join the lake path here, at the Belmont Harbor. Rent a Divvy bike at Sheridan and Belmont, take it to the Harbor and bike for 20 miles to the South Loop! Or just take a stroll and enjoy the views of Lake Michigan.
