If there’s a single place in the city that signifies “cocktail bar,” it’s this Victorian-esque Wicker Park lounge. Order the First Snow cocktail: http://tmoutchi.us/13EV7jr
Deep Fried Grilled Cheese--at first glance, it looks much like a hole-less doughnut. But it's actually a sesame seed hamburger bun with American cheese and bacon slices, fried til golden and crispy.
For an indulgent sandwich, get The Popper: bronzed sourdough is stuffed with cheddar, cream cheese, emerald shards of jalapenos, and crisp slivers of bacon. Served with a side of chipotle mayo.
