  • Coconut macaroons in Albany Park. [Reader]
  • 19 local restaurants were certified green this week by the Green Restaurant Association. [Green Restaurant Association, Inbox]
  • Want to navigate Taste of Chicago? There's an app for that. [iTunes]
  • Horchata, that staple of taquerias throughout the city, is getting pimped out. [TOC]
