It's a bit further but still doable: Kouk's Vintage Cafe (5653 N. Northwest Hwy. Chicago, 773-594-8888). It's a coffee shop inside an antique shop that also serves small treats like cookies, muffins, etc. According to Google Maps, it's only 2.5 miles/5 minutes away. The place is adorable and the owners are super nice. I only had coffee there, but it was quite good (possibly Intelligentsia?). They're only open til 6:30, but then you can head to the fairly new
Smokey's BBQ at 5481 N. Northwest Highway, Chicago (773-763-2328).
Don't forget the original Superdawg
