Seminary Co-Op

Last one! I've been a rec demon (long cold, just ignore me). But if you end up in Hyde Park to go to the Arts Bank or the Ren (or maybe even the Obama Foundation if it's open by then!), the Seminary Co-Op is a nice stop for a maze-like browsing experience intended to mimic the original, which was in a basement and perfect. There's also a nice cafe next door. The plein air cafe is usually overcrowded with students on laptops, but the outdoor space is quaint and its a good coffee stop.
