Think Chicago...think food.


At the Notebaert…

2430 N. Cannon Drive

Free parking is still available along Cannon Drive or you can park at the Lincoln Park zoo lot or take public transportation. The 151 Sheridan bus stops on the Southeast corner of Fullerton Parkway and Stockton Drive. From there it is just a short walk north across Fullerton, then east to the entrance.


Yum. Check out today’s Green City Market indoors at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum for artisanal cheeses, meats, micogreens, root veggies, baked goods fresh pasta and more. 8a.m. to 1p.m.

While at the Museum it is always fun to stop by the live butterfly exhibit where you will be able to interact with those exotic creatures. Also on tap is the newly opened exhibit “The Birth of Coffee” which traces the origins of this popular brew. Through May 19.
