When we recently were asked to contribute to a Bucket List for our hometown Evanston, IL, it did not take us long to figure out what to write about.
Check out the recent Redfin article we were featured in: According to Elisabeth Hubbard of funflector, “As a Swede, I love to meet friends for a refreshing walk followed by “fika” (coffee, pastry/sandwich, and interesting conversations), and for that, Evanston is the most perfect place! With so many parks and tree-lined streets, it’s nice to walk almost everywhere, but our favorite is along Lake Michigan, north of Lee Street, as the colors of the lake and sky never look the same from one day to another. For fika, we love Newport on Davis for their authentic Swedish cardamon buns, Evanston Pour on Dempster for the cosmopolitan atmosphere, and Cupitol on Grove St. for the ultimate hygge experience.” (Those of you who have followed us here for some time, should not be surprised that it had to do with walking and drinking coffee 😂.)
Evanston’s exciting bucket list is a team effort by Redfin and other Evanston small business owners and there are quite a few gems to discover! Find the whole list here: Beyond Chicago: Embarking on Evanston’s Exciting Bucket List
