This week Reader’s Retreat heads to Chi-town!

Chicago may be known for deep-dish pizza and all-beef frankfurters, but now delicious coffee and cozy cafes can be added to the list. Windy-city residents can enjoy a nice cup at Urban Orchard. After shopping in Edgewater’s neighborhood organic market, customers can take a break and read the morning paper in the sunlit café area. They support other small businesses in the area by serving locally baked pastries and Metropolis & Dark Matter coffee.

This Week’s Reader’s Choice

Speaking of Metropolis; they are this week’s Reader’s choice. David, a Chicago resident, says the Rogers Park coffee shop is both urban and academic. They often host live bands and poetry readings. A wonderful establishment with “great characters all around, rumpled couches, chairs, donated books & a writer’s best friend – great coffee.”

Thanks David!

Can’t wait until next week? Writer’s Retreat New York Edition is already available at McNally Jackson, Amazon and B&N. Other cities are available for pre-order on our Kickstarter page.
