We know the C-U is pretty great, and at Smile Politely, at least, we do our best to highlight the best (and sometimes the worst) of what this area has on offer.
The Thrillist article calls out Black Dog, Merry Ann’s, and Jupiter’s, as well as Exile on Main, Japan House, and Jane Addams Book Shop as must-visit stops. These are all excellent recommendations; if you’re looking for more, just take a look through the thousands of articles we’ve published.
