Welcome to Evanston

 
Favorite Restaurants:
 
  • Campagnola - it has an amazing quaint atmosphere for a quality Italian dinner with impeccable service. A true dining experience where you can sit down for appetizers and stay through dessert without feeling rushed.
  • Union Pizzeria - it has a fun social scene in the bar area and before live music concerts at Space - music venue in the back of the restaurant. Great small bite options and the best mac and cheese on Thursdays!
  • 10 Mile House - is consistent and cozy. They have one of my favorite salads and I love to sit at the hightops at the bar.
  • Mustard’s Last Stand - this is a favorite in my family. My boys love the Polish Dogs and I always get an order of their fries!
 
Shopping:
 
  • Stella Boutique on Central Street - it always has affordable, fun and comfortable options and great jewelry and gifts. Rachel, the owner, is awesome!
  • Notice - it is another go-to place on Central Street. I like to go in here if I want something a little more tailored, but still comfy and casual. They always have a great sale rack.
