Plan A Day In or around Lemont
Visit friend Sommer at Mabel’s Market
Cocktail so good that you can’t even Pollyanna Social
Sasquatch & coffee is good enough for me Folklore Coffee
Get a fun pizza (or incredible brunch) at Wooden Paddle (they do gluten free AND vegan)
Enjoy the food and ambiaace, but mostly the sidewinder fries with chimichuri, at Barrel & Vine
There is nothing like getting a flight of beer and sitting on the side of the canal at Pollyanna Brewing, I’ve been a big fan since way before the shop opened
There’s a cute kids book shop Three Stories
If you like old man bars, there are a handful to choose from👴🏻
Also in Lemont but not walking distance
Rustic Knead has croissants that make me cry
Waterfall Glen offers all the hiking, biking and shady glades for witchcraft one could want. Its the epicenter of my teenaged angst.
Celina’s is a Polish deli and mini mart, go for the pickle soup and leave transformed
The Forge is a big deal.
Not in Lemont but seriously Close
Do you enjoy being on high alert while getting cheap stuff? Here’s the place for you Goodwill Bins
White Fence Farm is where all my family’s birthday parties took place, the lobby/museum is a mini House on the Rock but it’s really about the corn fritters
Boeger’s is never open but if you can get in there, it’s the source of huge concrete yard decor
Isle De La Cache is super cool especially for kids
