It's an alternative way to give back to Chicago and preserve the culture of the Humboldt Park Community. My organization is an online storefront where people can purchase everyday items for families in need in Humboldt Park. For the holidays, we are also offering gift cards so that parents can purchase holiday dinners and presents for the children. All the items we purchase are new, high quality, brand-name items from eco-friendly and fair trade retailers. Go to our site, listen to the families’ stories, and start giving. Plus, for every $20 donation you get a free personalized certificate and organic T-shirt! We are asking that this year instead of secret Santa and the traditional gift exchange individuals and companies consider donating in someone’s name at ReasontoGive.org. Please take a look at our storefront or read our blog at http://www.firebellydesign.com for more info. Just thought I’d throw this out there.

But I'm afraid you missed your chance at Il Fiasco - they closed recently. I only ate there once, but it seemed like their entire menu was made from the same four ingredients. And I'm assuming you've already been to Anteprima in Andersonville? If not, I'd definitely add it to your list. I recently ate at Kuma's for the first time... YUM! But be sure to wear something black and/or studded. :) Great list! But I’m afraid you missed your chance at Il Fiasco – they closed recently.

Very discreet cafe tucked in the back of this elegant shop that sells expensive baubles. Yummy bbq chicken paninis and cute outdoor sitting area. Wicker Park: Mana, A Food Bar. Just opened, from the same people who do De Cero in the West Loop. Great vegetarian place with a bohemian-swanky NYC vibe! I’d like to add 2 more:

Have you been? It's supposedly Italian fare, focused on seasonal, locally grown ingredients. A place called "Piccolo Sogno" just opened up in the Thyme restaurant space in River West. It is also similarly themed. I’ve been meaning to try Terragusto in Roscoe Village. Have you been? It’s supposedly Italian fare, focused on seasonal, locally grown ingredients.
