Happy Sunday.

Around Town

This bitter cold is perfect for ducking into a coffee shop for coffee and a pastry most of an afternoon. Yesterday I spent the afternoon at Four Letter Word in Logan Square. This super cozy shop had some of the best Columbia drip I've had in a while, and the music varied from Colleen Green to Kenderick Lamar during the few hours I was there.

Other favorites you should explore this week:

• Spoken Cafe, Ravenswood

• Elaine's Coffee Call, Lincoln Park

• Gaslight Coffee Roasters, Logan Square

• Brü Coffee, Wicker Park

• The Wormhole, Wicker Park

Winter's tough when your summer Saturdays are spent at Chicago's many weekly farmers markets (i.e., the Lincoln Park City Market is a favorite spot of mine on Wednesdays or Saturdays)! Though nothing beat the smells of baked goods and wild flowers or the colors of fresh produce and unique art, Chicago has a some great indoor markets to last you until May.

• The Chicago French Market, The Loop Closed Sundays
  

• Green City Market, Lincoln Park Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. - 1 p.m.
  

• Joong Boo Market, Avondale Asian Grocery, Open Daily
  

• The Mart, River North Weekend Shows and Events
