HINSDALE
WINE STORE
SHOE REPAIR
HAND CAR WASH
A Taste of Vino
24 W. Chicago Ave.; 630-325-8466
Enthusiastic owners with an approachable retail aesthetic: the $20-and-under wines are stacked on the floor.

Hinsdale Shoe Services
18 W. Hinsdale Ave.; 630-323-0358
Eugene Portnoy will mend shoes, belts, purses, “and sometimes furniture if you ask and I can do it.”
Fuller’s Carwash
102 W. Chicago Ave.; 630-325-0088
Part of a suburban chain, but this is the location to spot Ferraris and Bentleys, usually on Saturday mornings.
BIKE SHOP
BEEF JOINT
SUSHI

Hartley’s Cycle
24 W. Hinsdale Ave.; 630-323-7156
Around since 1954, this gathering place for local leisure cyclists is also the spot for baby joggers and toddler trailers.
Al’s Italian Beef
5321 S. LaGrange Rd.; 708-354-2333
OK, so it’s in Countryside. But, come on—who eats Italian beef in Hinsdale?

Wild Oats Natural Marketplace
500 E. Ogden Ave.; 630-986-8500
Perhaps only for the lunch-rushed. Try Sushi House (830 E. Ogden Ave.; 630-920-8948) in Westmont.
COFFEE SHOP
WORKOUT PLACE
BAKERY

Starbucks
33 S. Washington St.; 630-655-9923
Constantly busy to the point of self-parody. Saturday mornings, it’s the epicenter of the town.
Salt Creek Bicycle Trail
This mostly flat 6.5-mile trail in the Cook County Forest Preserves starts from a park road off Ogden Avenue just east of I-294 and ends at the Brookfield Zoo. A stunning escape.
Toni Marie’s Sweets & Savories
51 S. Washington St.; 630-789-2020
Breakfast, lunch, and ravishing desserts.
