ok this is basically my whole paycheck mapped out between espresso shifts and gallery walks. not me building an entire personality around 18th street but here we are — the murals get all the instagram love but the food is doing just as much heavy lifting. this is the rotation, the stuff i send to every studio friend who visits uic, ranked by vibes and also by how many napkins you'll need.
