All of these photos (except the two lame cell phone ones) were taken by the astounding and ethereal Sophia Powers, and I would like to give a huge thank you to her for letting me use them. For more of her work, check out her flickr and her photography blog!
Knowing that the upcoming two months are going to be two of the worst we may ever weather, my friend and I decided to go on a little excursion to somewhere new, and we decided on the Wicker Park neighborhood.
We took the blue line to Damen and we had arrived. Immediately falling in love with the neighborhood, we were on a quest for coffee and we didn't have to go far. We had hardly stepped off of the train platform when we laid eyes on Stan's Donuts and Coffee. We hustled in and I got myself a soy chai latte and a vegan donut, which were both so delicious that I think I'll probably dream about them tonight.
We then wandered around, popping into vintage and thrift stores and each finding a couple of things. After a few hours we got a little overheated in a shop and went to a restaurant next door, which happened to be Umami Burger. We just sat and drank some water and ended up splitting a plate of french fries with ketchup that they make there, which was very tasty. The waiters there were all very kind to us, which we appreciated quite a lot.
We wandered around for a little longer, soaking it all in, before heading home when we felt a few rain drops.
It was one of those fast-paced and yet relaxing days, and I cannot wait until we can go back.
Thanks for reading, come back soon!
