Uncommon Ground is an I-GO fave through and through. Their original Wrigleyville location endures as a cozy café with excellent organic food and drink and a relaxed vibe. The newer Rogers Park location is simply amazing: organic gourmet cuisine and cocktails; a charming, acoustically superb cabaret-size dining room with regular music acts and local artists’ work; and an ultra-green building design from top to bottom. We’re talking extensive rooftop garden, solar panels providing power to the kitchen, furniture made from fallen trees in Jackson Park, and electrical outlets for plug-in vehicles in the lot outside. Add the monthly Green Room Sessions featuring environmental entrepreneurs and the summer’s weekly farmer’s market with its honky tonk music hour, and it’s a package deal hard to top.

APART brings back the heritage and tradition of Italian pizza, specializing in the handcraftsmanship of the pizza maker, the elegant balance of dough, sauce, and fresh toppings. Its hand-rolled, homemade pizza is a work of art that has been passed from generation to generation. APART’s founding chef Carlo passed on his tradition to his son. The pizzeria’s dedication to this tradition perseveres as chefs are trained up to six months before they can serve diners. Its primary focus, though, is your individual taste. They specialize in the personalized 10-inch pizza and authentic Italian-style ingredients.
