This is right next to the Damen stop. The airbnb is right next to the California stop, so this is in between you and downtown, and worth hopping off the train for. Try the banana nutella donut.

Get truffle fries. Get a truffle burger. OR A VEGAN TRUFFLE BURGER featuring the impossible burger patty. Street art vibes but still a good date and drinks spot. By the Damen Blue Line stop, next to Wormhole coffee (also a good idea).

Jenis is the most delicious ice cream I have ever had in my life. The lines will be VERY LONG but they are pretty quick, or you could go a little earlier in the day. This is across from Umami burger (also recommended, although you may die if you eat both at the same time). Wormhole coffee, home of many many nerds and strong wifi is across the street. As a cautionary note, the ice cream is like $6/serving but I promise it is worth it, especially the Brambleberry crisp.

This is a Logan Square icon. Feels like a weird cave your with taxidermy owls. Disco music + live DJ. This is where everyone has gone to hang out after other bars close when they wanna make terrible decisions or dance until you pass out. Secret tip: go by the Owl before the rush, get your hand stamped, then come back after your bar hop at 2am when the line is a block long and bypass it. This is a max 10 minute walk from the Airbnb.

Very unique brewery that feels like a coffee shop. Tall ceilings, modern design, dog-friendly. Order pizza from Dantes and eat it here. Serves a variety of beer, brewed by Hopewell (don't go trying to get a Bud light here, you will be laughed at). Opens early on weekends. Like noon.
