The Trifecta: Lincoln Ave Hotspots

Do yourself a favor and take a small business walking tour of Lincoln Avenue. Park at an easy-to-find meter spot and discover Lakeview. Building Blocks is a good starting point where your tiny dates can pick out a new book or toy (like Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty), then walk over to Frasca Pizzeria (little tummies are filled for free before 6 p.m.) and grab a single slice of wedding cake or a black and white cookie for dessert at Dinkel’s. Best part: All these fav spots are within a block of each other!
