Starbucks is everywhere, including at the corner of Sheffield and Armitage; Webster and Halsted; and North and Sheffield.
The Farmer's Market is held every Saturday morning between May-October at the Lincoln Park high school parking lot, 650-750 W. Armitage. Fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese, beef, flowers, herbs and more.
The closest Dominick's is at Division and Clybourn.

Oz Park (700 W Webster) is a wonderful shaded park for kids of all ages to play in.
Adams Park (1900 N. Seminary) was completely redone within the past two years; lots of slides, climbing towers, huge sandbox. During the summer, there is a free water park that is full of excited children any day of the week.
St. James' Lutheran School is within walking distance of the unit. Small class sizes (about 15 on average), and the teachers there like to make home visits to really get to know the parents and children. (Tuition, approx. $5,000 per year).
