Sparrow
When you can’t handle another negative-degree wind-chill, head to Sparrow. The brick exterior in the Gold Coast belies the tropical, 1930s-era Havana-style art deco interior where the La Floridita is the most popular drink. Sparrow is Chicago’s only green and organic micro-roastery, with care and attention given to each bean. Take a sip. See what I mean. (Rebecca Holland)
