"One of the city's most underrated brunches is served at this neighborhood bar on Michigan Avenue. Cocktails are inexpensive, the meal portions are generous, and as an added bonus many are vegan-friendly. Customers can place orders online for vegan biscuits and gravy, tofu scrambles, and even “bottomless” mimosas for carryout." - Brenna Houck
