Grahamwich dalliances

After I finished with an editors' press breakfast at the new Rolex boutique that opened this week on Michigan Ave. (you can read my PinkMemo coverage about it here!), I happened to stroll by Grahamwich, the (fairly) new sandwich and soda shop by Graham Elliott on State Street. I took that as a sure sign that I was meant to take an extended morning out of the office. 

They weren't quite open for lunch yet (another 10 minutes!), but indulged me anyway with my Waldorf Chicken Salad––a clean and comfortable 'wich, with toasted, candied pecans, celery, and red grapes in between two thick slices of a wonderfully nutty, house-made bread. I passed on the gorgonzola crumbles. I relaxed in a bright, airy space with exposed brick, sunny yellow walls, flowers in glass jars on windowsills, and a jazzy covers of happy songs like Hakuna Matata. That's the Grahamwich vibe!
