LINCOLN SQUARE · NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES
Saturday morning took us to Zimi’s at 5077 N Lincoln Avenue for brunch. It was a chance to step inside a spot along the Lincoln Avenue stretch and share a few photos from our visit.
What we ordered
We ordered the breakfast skewers with scrambled eggs and qofte with eggs, along with an Americano and a latte. We brought Nutella crepes home for later. Here’s a look at the skewers from our table.

A look inside
Warm pendant lights, booths, greenery, and windows facing Lincoln Avenue give the room its look. I like sharing these little neighborhood snapshots alongside the homes and streets that make Lincoln Square feel like Lincoln Square.
