We welcome bikers and have plenty of indoor bike racks for those bad weather days. We have street parking far easier than downtown and also have a lottery-assigned back lot.
• Great location. Evanston is just like downtown Chicago without all the hassle. Walking distance to Whole Foods, Potbelly’s and the famous Edzo’s. If you need to workout, the Evanston Athletic Club and Yoga studios are just down the street.      
• Free food! Our kitchen is stocked with all-you-can-eat snacks for morning and afternoon along with bottomless cups of espresso, soda, and bottled water. Don’t forget Bagel/Donut Fridays as well as all the endless amounts of goodies our amateur chef employees bring in for sharing. We are well fed!
