In-between the usual Christmas/Hanukah rush of errands we stumbled upon the Grind ‘N’ Gears Cafe (8030 W Oakton). While neither of us have ever actually ridden a motorcycle, we do appreciate their cool collection of bikes. The shop also makes excellent use of what we assume was  a former auto repair shop. And their couches are super comfy. All of this makes it worthy of being Hennacornoelidays recommended. 

Christmas Eve and the Festival of Lights have since come and gone. Both were made special by having Henna home and the time spent with family. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
