This year, we're exchanging the Danish Hygge for the Swedish Fika! Although, Fika translates directly to "a coffee and cake break", it is about so much more. Fika is a moment, a state of mind, an action (Let's go Fika!) Many Swedish folks consider it an essential part of the day. Reserve a table at one of the restaurants participating in Chicago Restaurant Week that weekend, like Oda Mediterranean Cuisine, Big Jones, and Mango Pickle. Set aside some time for friends to share in conversation, connection, and of course, coffee!
Thank you to Susan Bro, Coldwell Banker Realty, for sponsoring Fika Fest!
Fika takes place from Friday February 3 to Sunday February 5. Stay tuned for more mays to celebrate.
