This summer was all about patio dining, and if you’re missing those alfresco vibes, check out the charming indoor atrium space known as the South Pinckney Street Patio. After shopping at Context, grab a drink from Ancora Coffee or order a burger from Settle Down Tavern and enjoy the ambiance of a heated indoor space that makes you feel like you’re dining outside. 100 block of South Pinckney StreetCourtesy of Settle Down TavernThis summer was all about patio dining, and if you’re missing those alfresco vibes, check out the charming indoor atrium space known as the South Pinckney Street Patio.

Ever since we put a dog on the July 2020 cover, our feline-loving digital content editor has been trying to balance the scales on our cat/dog coverage. She came across these vegan, catnip-stuffed toys made by east-sider Meagan Porter of TacoCat Creations, and we had to make them a Hot List pick. Porter’s handmade cat toys and accessories can be found locally at Anthology, Booth 121, Earthwise, MadCat and Nutzy Mutz & Crazy Catz.
