Adamus, Chicago Loop Restaurant and Lounge, Serves Up New Fall Menu
Adamus … root word of “Adamantium” – the stuff that makes Wolverine invincible … is Adamus Chicago’s underground mutant hangout? MiLam ate and drank its way through the Silversmith Hotel, in the hopes of finding someone with superpowers.
Coffee, Free WIFI: Pilsen, Chicago
Looking for strong coffee, free WIFI, decent beardspotting, and reasonable co-working in a Pilsen, Chicago coffeehouse? Check out La Catrina, and don’t overlook their outdoor courtyard, in back. Afterward, grab some bacon candy at Honky Tonk. Free parking!
Coffee, Free WIFI: West Town, Chicago
Looking for a West Town (or West Loop) Chicago cafe with good coffee, available electrical outlets, and free parking? With a nearby doughnut? Start out by dropping your knives off at Northwest Cutlery, walk around the block and hit Publican and then Glazed & Infused, then pick up your knives and head to Morgan-Randolph Starbucks to log on to their Wi-Fi so you can work or study.
Coffee, Free WIFI: Ravenswood, Chicago
Looking for free wireless in Ravenswood? Get some work done while sipping a Colombia Tres Santos pour over coffee from Ch’ava Cafe, on Clark and Leland, in Chicago.
Free Wi-Fi in Uptown Chicago, Pt. 3
Baker & Nosh (Wilson at Malden) has internet access, great coffee, good food, and nice bathrooms. It doesn’t have as many electrical outlets as I wish it did, but I recommend logging on here nonetheless – especially when the patio’s open. The patio’s nicer than anything else you’ll find in Uptown.
