Antique Taco Wicker Park
1360 N Milwaukee AveAwesome casual taco spot.
Delicious espresso drinks. A little on the expensive side, but definitely worth it if you appreciate great coffee. They take their time, so definitely not the place to come if you're in a rush.

I've never been disappointed by their fried chicken. Lots of fun people hanging out, especially on the patio when the weather is good.

Piece Brewery

They've been around forever and I like their pulled chicken and pulled pork a lot. Their brisket tends to be on the fattier side. Great brunch too.

I like these guys better than Glazed and Infused. They do a solid old fashioned and they serve Intelligentsia coffee.

Drinks & Nightlife
Super sexy cocktail bar. Dark and intimate with excellent cocktails and small plates. Great for a date night. The entrance is hidden, so you'll need to look closely at the wall with the mural.

Personally I think Big Star is a little overrated for a taco joint. Really fun patio for cheap tacos and drinks when the weather is nice!
