My sister Jill, who has lived in Oak Park, Illinois for about 13 years, offers these restaurant, gallery and book store suggestions:
– Marion Street Cheese Market!
– Her favorite Italian restaurant is La Bella; favorite little French restaurant is Hemingway’s Bistro in the Write Inn
– An artist friend of her’s gives a major thumbs up to Prodigy Glassworks in the Harrison Street Arts District.
– The Book Table, is a good independent book store, and so is Magic Tree (children’s) book store.
