Drinks & Nightlife

Not technically a bar but a great place to sample local beer. Definitely try something on tap and grab a 6-pack to take home. They often do free tastings on the weekend!

Shopping

Evanston's Farmers' Market is the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning. In the winter, they move indoors. I highly recommend picking up some tofu or fresh produce. Stop by the Crepe tent if you're looking for some great breakfast.
