Chicago Shopping Recommendation

Another recommendation here. If you want to go shopping in Chicago and are hoping for something different from the mag mile, take the brown or purple line to the Armitage stop in Lincoln Park. It's close to downtown, but has a real neighborhood feel. Walk down the stairs, and you're right in the middle of a really cute little strip of shops. Most of the places are small, local, and unique - lots of gift-y, stationary type stores and clothing boutiques. I think it would be especially nice at Christmastime - very cozy.

There are restaurants, too, if you need a break. Little coffee and tea shops, a great Mexican bar called The Twisted Lizard, and a ton of other places I haven't had the pleasure of trying yet.
