I was staying nearby, an was planning a little picnic, I knew theif wine shop would be perfect. They have the bar setup in the middle, but I was feeling a bit crushed by all the people and just perused around the bottle area. Their selection is fantastic. They have it separated by location and cover all price points. Everyone can find something. I was given space to look around. Twice someone asked me if I needed help, but it was polite and not pushy. Once I found a Montepulciano I was interested in, someone came over from the bar to check me out. I asked him if it was possible to get one of the cheese trays to go, and was told it was no problem. He would ring it up for me and get right on it. He offered me a seat at the bar while I waited, but I was happy just looking at their other wine options. The cheese plate was super tasty, and a really good value at $15. There were four cheeses, grapes, almonds, crasins, and bread. We really liked the selection and were impressed with the size. Seriously nothing but good things to say. A wonderful reason to visit the market.

They also have a full area where you can buy bottles from all over the world. Lastly they offer some snacks for purchase like charcuterie board, cheese, nuts, and other small plates.

The menu was not overwhelming, and it's nice to be able to sample the wine before committing to a whole glass. The people who work there are also cool and build a very welcoming and warm environment. It's clear that they're very knowledgeable about wine, and not in a snobby way at all. I've been to nonfiction probably three or four times and it's been an amazing experience every time. For food, I've gotten the chips and caviar, which was insanely good, the Caesar salad, and the bread. I can't complain about a single thing!

Jen's is a small liquor store on the corner of 43rd and Howard - you'll probably never have reason…read moreto head here unless you're in the area, but it's a perfectly fine South Side liquor store. Here's what to expect: PRESENT: *Any and all types of domestic beers including Miller, Miller Lite, MGD, Miller 64 and whatever it is that Bud makes these days. A few imports like Corona and Heineken too. *A wine selection that is limited to Arbor Mist and/or Franzia *Liquor - Korbel, Jack Daniels, etc. The "good stuff" is behind the counter - apparently that means Jagermeister? *A fine selection of jerky if you're ready to SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM *An enormous selection of malt-ernatives, like wine coolers, Mikes Hard Lemonade & Smirnoff Ice. NOT PRESENT: *Chateau Petrus 1996 *That limited release craft beer you just read about *Bottles of liquor that retail for more than $25 *Sustenance outside of pork rinds and jerky SURPRISING FIND: *Huge bags of pipe tobacco - I mean really big ones. At first, I was like "hey, do they sell dog food here?" Nope - they sell pipe tobacco in the same size bags that my mom's Yorkie's food comes in. The people in this area must really be into pipes. In short, Jen's has what you need when you're late to a Packer party on the South Side.

There is a bar and small lounge area, so you can enjoy a glass or a bottle while you're here. The menu also includes 20 beers ranging from Miller Lite to Central Waters Honey Blonde to Triple Karmeleit. I also noticed 4 options for Scotch, so yes, quite a bit of diversity on the menu. There is also a small deck in back. If in area, it's worth checking out. Happy Hour is 4:00-6:00 with select $5 glasses of wine, which are $7 other times. The business has been here since 2007 and current owner for last 2 years. Cheers!

Oh, and of course coffee and food too. Well, I found that and MORE here at Wantable Cafe. Not only is it FREE to come here--no monthly subscription unlike some other remote work cafes but they also let you reserve noise cancelling pods. Two pods have couches where a few people can sit and work together and one pod is for a solo person working--or like in my case having to take an exam with dead quietness, no people, pets and be heavily scrutinized. The rest of the cafe has a bunch of tables ranging from 2 people to groups of 6 people, couches, comfy chairs AND lots of plug outlets. So there is plenty of space for you and others if you need it. Now let's get to the good part---the FOOD. The have gourmet pizza slices sold by the ounce, gourmet cannolis (the matcha and chocolate was to die for), breakfast sandwiches, bowls, snacks, basically everything you could want to set up shop. Plus wine and beer! My only wish is that they were open 24/7 because I also work 3rd shift and finding anywhere to study without waking up my wife and disturbing my precious dog is difficult.

It's down a side street off of 1st Street, so it's easy to miss. It's a brick building sitting on the corner, with just enough signage to let you know you're at the right place. Inside is a large area that is both a coffee shop and a coworking/collaboration space to help people connect. There are large tables for groups, small tables for couples, or work pods for privacy. Great idea! They have the usual barista favorites, along with smoothies, breakfast, and lunch items. When I arrived, there were several other people working on their laptops. Met the friendly barista and ordered my usual London Fog Tea Latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, extra foam). They didn't have scones (so sad), but they did offer some nice bakery items that they source from Stone Creek Coffee. After several minutes, my London Fog was ready, along with the Morning Bun. They did a nice job with the drink, it was the perfect temperature (about 140F), and the pastry was warmed up nicely as well. During my time there, other people started to show up, but the noise level was good. Conversations were quiet and respectful of others. This place does a nice job of balancing the intimacy of a coffee shop with the need for a collaboration space.
