Bon Bon
A mother-daughter team infuses the handmade chocolates with exotic, heady ingredients like rose petals, chilies and chai tea. As if that wasn’t sensuous enough, they then mold the pieces into figures from the Kama Sutra (as well as into little Buddhas and King Tuts, who are still kind of sexy). Serve the rich concoctions to the object of your affection, and you’ll be ripping each others’ clothes off in no time.

Sam’s Wine & Spirits
Cavernous Sam’s carries Chicago’s largest selection of imported vino. It’s easy to spend hours chatting with the informative staff and loading up for future dinner parties. Tastings occur a few times each month, usually on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. Beer, spirits, champagne and cheese are sold en masse, too.

Coco Rouge
You need to keep your energy up, right? So here we go, to Coco Rouge. Behind the velvet drapes lies a tiny glass-case counter, and inside the counter lie the sweetest truffles you’ve ever laid lips on. Point at your fancy, then the staff whisks it to the back room and genteely wraps it. It’s all quite a production.
