1. Gene’s Sausage Shop
PB Brown: Eat lunch on the roof!
2. Merz Apothecary
PB Brown: Awesome soaps, shaving supplies, etc.
3. Chicago Brauhaus
PB Brown: Say Hi to Gody, Lincoln Square's resident celebrity
4. Winnemac Park
PB Brown: One of the nicest parks I've ever been in. When the wildflowers are in bloom late spring/early summer in the natural prairie areas is the best.
5. Ba Le
PB Brown: Awesome, awesome, awesome sandwiches.
6. San Soo Gab San
PB Brown: Sooooo many pickles and side dishes!
7. Isla Pilipina
PB Brown: Save room for the Halo-Halo for dessert.
8. Tank Noodle
PB Brown: Get the pho.
9. Julius Meinl
PB Brown: There are other locations for this franchise around town, but this one is the least busy and has the best service. Hours are weird though.
10. Spacca Napoli Pizzeria
PB Brown: Best non-thick crust pizza in the city. Don't get an appetizer, though, the oven is so hot, the pizzas will be done in minutes.
11. Hopleaf Bar
PB Brown: This place is always busy, but it's my favorite beer bar in town. Get the cashew butter sandwich.
12. The Coffee Studio
PB Brown: A little pricey, but the best coffee shop in the city.
13. Sunshine Café
PB Brown: Most Japanese restaurants are all about sushi. This place is more about all Japanese cuisine: ramen, yaktori, etc.
14. Simon's Tavern
PB Brown: Awesome low key bar. In the winter they serve hot grog. Hop Leaf gets more attention, but this place has a better overall vibe.
15. Alleycat Comics
PB Brown: Friendly staff, good selection, awesome toys.
16. Chicagoland Games: Dice Dojo
PB Brown: Nerd heaven. If you are looking for a fun board game night, head here first.
17. Agee's Pizzeria & Grill
PB Brown: Order the Gym Shoe. One of the few places to find it on the North Side.
18. Early To Bed
PB Brown: Non-creepy, woman-owned sex shop. Great for couples.
