A jog or bike down the Lake Shore Path is a great way to get your blood flowing in the morning.

Threadless Store
Home of the famous Threadless t-shirt brand. The belly of the beast.

The newest sexiest roaster in the city. Unbeatable coffee.

Amazing food, friendly staff, massive whiskey selection and a new Michelin star.
Big Star
Best Tacos in the city, and right in the heart of the action.
