Filter 1334 N. Milwaukee.
Pictures to come soon!
Lemon Square: too cakey, not enough lemon.
This is the first place I've been to in about a month (maybe longer). My dance rehearsals have completely taken any spare time I have. Many people may roll their eyes and think "well you can find time if you want to" but not when it comes to dance rehearsals. Sorry folks, I literally have no time. This is the first Sunday I've been able to get out of my apartment and it saddens me greatly, especially with the weather turning slightly nicer now.
The Filter atmosphere is like I just stepped into my grandma's livingroom with the avocado couches, tweed arm chairs, buddha head lamps, and velvet highbacked chairs. I'm sure at most points of the day there is more furniture in this one large room than there is people. The noise level is louder than most coffee shops but it's bearable. The music overhead ranges from Radiohead, Guster, instrumental Explosions in the Sky and various other indie choices, but it's just enough music not to overwhelm with the noise coming from the people around me.
This may be my new favorite spot. I look forward to visiting this place on a less busy day during the week.
If you wish to find this hole in the wall gem I'd suggest taking the Blue Line to Division and then it's just a 2 block walk.
