A full day at local spots around Near North/Old Town/Gold Coast
Start your day grabbing breakfast at Doma Cafe, and then take a seat and spend some time people-watching at Washington Square Park, then head up Wells St to Slant of Light Books and Mercy Beaucoup Resale for a little shopping (they're right next to each other!) Then pop over to Gussie's Handmade Italian for happy hour and dinner. And finally, take a long stroll down to double fun on State and Elm. Now, I'm not usually a fan of many of the Gold Coast bars, admittedly...but this one is worth your time.
