Metropolis Coffee on Granville is a great place to hang out –*their coffee is excellent and the free wireless is nice, too. Blue Elephant at 1400-ish on Devon serves up some delicious and cheap Asian food. I really like the diner on the corner of Clark and Devon when I don't feel like going to Heartland Cafe. Both of those places have pretty decent food and the prices are right.
I'm sure I've seen you around if you live up here –*what do you ride?
I guess thats the problem, I live up at Touhy and Sheridan, so Im sandwiched by Morse and Howard. Hang out at Ennui a decent amount (though probably not anymore since the laptop died...). Loyola stop area is nice, I get off there at night instead of the Morse stop. Only places I can think to take people are Giordanos and Leonas, both of which have other (more famous) locations elsewhere in the city.
I ride a lighter blue '86 Schwinn Prelude thats a few sizes too small for me. A lot of times I commute in jeans, but ride with blue jersey if I'm being serious. Never really head south though, mostly ride north into Evanston (up Sheridan). What about you?
