Humboldt Park's long-awaited Boathouse Cafe opened over the weekend. City officials may have closed the park's beach earlier this year, but now residents have a full-service restaurant in the middle of the park.
Stop by this morning and pick up your brew, a pastry, a breakfast sandwich or all three on your way to work! We would love to serve you! We are open at 7 am!
