The best places to grab a bite right around WeWork, our Chicago HQ
1. LYFE Kitchen
Everyone's pick
Lyfe Kitchen is a stone's throw from WeWork, and has a huge menu full of fresh, healthy, tasty food, as well as plenty of gluten-free and vegan options.

2. Ramen-san
BRATLAB Office Pick
Once a month, the BRATLAB office heads to Ramen-San for what they like to call "#radicalramen." The food is awesome and the conversation inevitably turns to something deep and controversial like religion, animal consciousness, or family relationships.

3. Beatrix
A Habits at Work favorite, not simply because it's the only place we know of that serves Bulletproof Coffee.
Also a great place for lunch - just make sure to make a reservation.

Debbi says it's great for a "cheat day..."
Amanda + Bree eat there at least once a week to catch up on projects and talk strategy.

9. Hannah's Bretzel
Bree's Pick
Sandwiches on pretzel bread, a ridiculous assortment of chocolate bars, and gluten-free menu items = can't lose lunch option

11. Farmer's Fridge (aka Salad in a Jar)
Tracie Ann's Pick
Located inside an unassuming 7-11 is a vending machine that sells fresh salads with locally sourced ingredients, served in jars.
Just make sure you order one salad at a time, or reach into the machine to retrieve your jars as soon as they drop or else the chute will jam ;)

12. Pret A Manger
Aaron's Pick
The merch mart has an entire food court but this is one of the healthiest options. Fresh sandwiches, yogurt cups, soups and pastries made daily with all leftovers going to local food banks.
It's also a super fast option as everything is pre-packaged and waiting to be picked up

Endlessly customizable salads and wraps. The ordering process is a bit hectic but the portions are enormous and all the offerings are healthy.
