"This brightly lit Spanish restaurant in Lincoln Park feels like a coffee shop, which makes sense, because they’re open all day for pastries and sandwiches. And while your hair looks great in natural light, it will be absolutely luminescent under the string lights in their back patio. It’s a lovely space to hang out - small (only about six tables), with Spanish music playing in the background. And it’s also the perfect place to eat pretty (and tasty) dishes like tiny pieces of french toast topped with foie gras and jam, a wonderful vegetable pisto with manchego and a duck egg, and tender Iberico pork with pickled snap peas. It’s BYOB, so grab a bottle of wine from The Big Apple grocery store across the street." - adrian kane
