Like grandma's kitchen . . .
. . . if grandma was a semi vegetarian hippy with kitschy taste in decor, a taste for indie music, and a passion for coffee, that is.
The Pick Me Up is my favorite cafe in Chicago. The Hummus platter, the Cheeze Fries, and the Zombie are all must haves at this lovely little northside eatery.
Also, they serve italian sodas, which are some of my favorite things in the whole world. If you've never had one, try a raspberry peach italian cream soda, your mouth will thank you.
