The coffee is good. The cinnamon roll I got was ok. As soon as I saw it I remembered my Mom telling me about a place here that has amazing cinnamon rolls. I assured her I would not go looking for the place. Alas...I found this one. Dang.
The one place that was on my list to go to is this amazing store in the Gold Coast area of Chicago. It's called P.O.S.H. I first went there last year with my sister and Mom. I was instantly in love.
They carry "flea-market chic" finds, unique antique styled wares and home-goods. Books. Maps (I love cool old looking maps...I bought one for Rome this visit). And more. A wonderfully European-style boutique.
I spoke with the gentleman behind the counter who was nothing if not terribly nice, he was Karl Sorensen. He helped me find the map I was looking for and we chatted a bit. The store was filling up with customers while I was there going through all it had to offer while I searched for that one thing I felt I had to have, the one thing I felt someone else would love and then those same things that I had to figure out how to get back to NYC in my bag which was already full. (wow that was a long sentence). I left with only the map.
Should you find yourself in the heart of one of my favorite cities, Chicago....I highly recommend a visit to this great store.
Here is a pict of an item I thought long and hard about. They would have gone SO well in my Brooklyn apt. Unfortunately I couldn't get them. But should I change my mind....
Vintage Wooden Tops
