Study Hall
by Isa Giallorenzo on June 19, 2013 at 2:45PM
Recently relocated to one of Ukrainian Village's busiest corners—Chicago just west of Damen—Study Hall offers a well-curated selection of clothing, accessories, books, decor, and cosmetics perfectly suited to a cool crowd. Owners Naoko Nagano and Malcolm Felder wanted to give customers a unique experience, so they decided to select a special theme each season.
Caroline Borucki

carolineborucki.com At a recent fashion event filled with people dressed to kill, the only girl who actually killed it was wearing a dress by local designer Caroline Borucki.
Trunk Club
by Gwynedd Stuart on June 19, 2013 at 2:45PM
trunkclub.com Dressing yourself well is kind of like cooking—some people have a knack for it, other people need a cookbook or they'll burn down the fucking kitchen.
Mandy's Cleaners
Let's say you actually lose the ten pounds you said you were going to lose this summer. Amanda Bahena—aka Mandy—is the gal to update your wardrobe.
FeelTrip's "FeelTrip Lovers" T-shirt
by Leor Galil on June 19, 2013 at 2:45PM
feeltrip.bigcartel.com/product/feeltrip-lovers If you've ever walked up or down Milwaukee Avenue near the Whistler, there's a good chance you've come across a large portrait of a doubly bare-chested couple in a half embrace.
Scylla and Corsetiere
by Shannon Nico Shreibak on June 19, 2013 at 2:45PM
If you're looking to break it to the parents that you've been hiding an obscure body piercing that you got back in college, when you may or may not have been under the influence of some choice substances, you might as well do it with style, right? Scylla Jewelry crafts masterpieces to adorn whatever body parts you decided to poke a hole through, sober or not.
American Science & Surplus
by Kevin Warwick on June 19, 2013 at 2:45PM
The science class megamall in Jefferson Park offers nerds the tools needed to build homemade labs and never again see the light of day. Syringes, petri dishes, microscope slides—all available a la carte.
Cigs at Pitts
by Hannah Lorenz on June 19, 2013 at 2:45PM
Life's tough for Chicago's smokers. Between strict smoking laws and the months of miserable winter weather that make even the briefest outdoor excursions a nightmare, the city is not the most hospitable place for those craving a little nicotine.
Jugrnaut
The bond between local hip-hop acts and the folks behind this city's streetwear stores and brands is tight, and the lines between the communities are often blurred as folks from both scenes are friends and collaborators—for example, Jugrnaut co-owner Manny Rodriguez DJs for rapper and one-man pizza party ShowYouSuck. Walk into Leaders 1354 or Saint Alfred any day of the week and there's a good chance you'll see a rapper or producer whose tracks have recently been featured on Fake Shore Drive, Ruby Hornet, or Elevator hanging out or leisurely perusing new gear.
(Anywhere near) Heritage Bicycles
by Julia Thiel on June 19, 2013 at 2:45PM
Not only does Heritage Bicycles in Lakeview charge a couple bucks less to fix a flat tire than most local bike shops I've been to ($10, which includes the tube), they also throw in a free Stumptown coffee. While you wait you can browse the fancy gear—Brooks saddles, leather bike bags, wicker bike baskets—or get a sandwich or muffin in the cafe part of the store.
Bookman's Corner
The interior of Bookman's so closely resembles an episode of Hoarders that the smell of imminent intervention practically hangs in the air. That and the smell of old books.
Challengers Comics + Conversation

Buying something from a rude and pretentious salesperson can truly make for the "Worst. Shopping experience.
Andy's Music
Music stores are kind of like the hipsters of commerce—the more obscure their inventory, the more legit they probably are. Andy's Music can wear its straw fedora and slightly too-short pants with pride.
Dock 6 Collective
Located on a drab, industrial stretch of Diversey in Hermosa, Dock 6 Collective is a modern furniture collector's wet dream. As its name implies, it's a collective of several independent designers and furniture makers, each with a unique style, but with an aesthetic tie that binds, too—sharp angles, clean lines, organic materials, minimalism; a sort of beauty by way of simplicity.
One of the most pleasant Saturday-afternoon spots to take out-of-town guests once brunch is over, Salvage One is first and foremost a massive three-floor vault of vintage and, well, salvaged junk. Looking for ornate doorknobs, a McCobb-style coffee table, or a frightening old-school dental chair?
Doodlebooth

Family Fruit Market
The big grocery stores have a unique ability to pair old, poorly rotated produce and an overall unpleasant parking/shopping/checking-out experience. Whole Foods is an exception, but it's also the only place you can accidentally spend $15 on a salad from the salad bar.
