  • 1. Powell’s Bookstore

    Here, used books in top condition are stacked floor to ceiling on painted wood shelves, with antique editions protected behind glass.

  • 2. Seminary Co-op Bookstore

    Housed in the basement of the Chicago Theological Seminary on the University of Chicago campus, it’s fitting that this bookstore has a well-respected academic section, especially humanities and social sciences.

  • 3. 57th Street Books

    This basement-level shop carries new fiction, children’s books, and African-American interest titles. Low ceilings, brick walls, and a painted cement floor all create a cozy atmosphere, conducive to browsing.

  • 4. The Co-op Market

    Mingle with the melting pot of shoppers at this cooperative market, where aisles are dominated by organic, vegetarian, and international foodstuffs.

  • 5. House of Africa

    The scent of sandlewood incense fills this small boutique that sells African artifacts, carved wooden sculptures, and CDs of music from all over the continent.

  • 6. 2nd Hand Tunes

    In this long, narrow, cement-block store, rows of LPs, 45s, and CDs attract local music lovers and club DJs for the outstanding collection of soul, jazz, and indie rock.

  • 7. Toys, Etc.

    This inviting store focuses on non-violent toys galore. Good-old standbys include kites, face-painting kits, balls, and dress-up clothes.

  • 8. Little Black Pearl Workshop

    Tucked away in a limestone rowhouse, the gift shop at this children’s arts program sells the students’ amazing creations, such as one-of-kind painted furniture and vibrant mosaics.

  • 9. Collections

    Chic club clothes and look-at me leather shoes are sparsely displayed along the walls in this boutique. Many of the designs are straight off Italian runways, while others are custom-made by the shop’s owner.

  • 10. Artisans 21

    This gallery showcases locally made art. You can purchase designs both to wear and to show, from whimsical ceramics to fringed silk scarves and handpainted jackets.
