Erica M. • January 12, 2013The Small Ordinary Shop has many beautiful handmade items from local artisans. Clothing, candles, bags, prints, and jewelry -- I wish I could just buy it all.

Laura N. • March 15, 2010Go to Hot Tix and find a large selection of half-price theatre tickets. Also a Ticketmaster retail outlet.

Meredith A. • June 4, 2013Farmers market here on Tuesdays in summer, 7 am - 3 pm. Produce, cheese, flowers, plants, baked goods, salsa, jam, and more! Small but great to check out if you work nearby.

Jeff C. • October 10, 2014Great library with some very meaningful books to read. Also a tremendous space to contemplate life. They have a fabulous intimate theatre that is great for smaller gatherings of 100 or less.

Raed M. • August 10, 2014Besides all the unhinged people taking refuge from the elements and all the DePaul student's backpacks taking up chairs, it's a nice place to sit at the State Street side bar and sip on coffee.

Neil F. • August 5, 2013If you are here to update your driver's license, make sure you bring two forms confirming the new address.

Lauren B. • July 15, 2017The sea salt caramel and fudge sundae is amazing, and perfect to share with 3 people!

Ben B. • September 14, 2014Good vegan options. I got the market green juice and the superfood vegan salad. It was good. And not too expensive.

Renee S. • May 5, 2010Great way to explore faith matters. A great program at this location is called Alpha. Come see that it isn't religion, it is a relationship that matters.

Danny R. • January 8, 2012Interested in volunteering with the Tech Team? Come visit by the sound booth in the back!
