Whole Foods--1550 N. Kingsbury Street, Chicago, Illinois 60642|Map

Whichever entrance you come in from, look for Mezzanine floor. The floor is an elongated space that runs along the side of the building, overlooking the main shopping area, and is devoted to dining space. Come to the section that is the widest, and look for the table that has a copy of the Atlas Shrugged on it. If everything fails, once you are on the floor, just call (847) 668-3132.

Feel free to bring food and drinks to the table. If you have questions of your own or have parts of the book that you would like to bring up for discussion, let me know and we will make sure we cover that!
