When in Chicago: The Heartland Cafe
When in Chicago, the staff of Where There’s Smoke.net recommend dining at the Heartland Cafe, directly beside the Morse stop on the Red Line. I like it because it reminds me of Seva back home in Ann Arbor, healthy, bountiful food, leftist literature on the newstand, radical movement posters on the walls. My old college roommate Justin introduced me to it and this time I got to take my friend Mara and her husband David.
Who they had an empire (radio show, journal, theater) too? Damn. Hell hath no fury like an ambitious lefty. I love it. It’s so me and my crunchy roots.
