- Steingold’s Basic Lox: we switched it up from eggs to share the wonderful signature lox sandwich.

Smack Dab
We’re heading up north to Roger’s Park to find the coveted Smack Dab cafe.

The Biscuit Guy is counter-assistance fashion positioned inside of the Long Area in Ravenswood — a cozy bar with unique cocktails, coffee & a roomy beer backyard garden.

We suggest splitting this sandwich and their “Basic Biscuit,” which has their signature tomato jam and goat cheese. The combo is unreal.
