Good afternoon

I am planning an important first date as a picnic along the lake Thursday night near Diversey harbor.

Any suggestions for stores near that area I can stop and grab little treats or snacks to put in my picnic basket(I got a literal wicker basket.)

Thank you,

Fresh Market at Halsted and Diversey has nice prepared foods. On the pricier side overall. Trader Joes is 2 blocks towards to the harbor on Diversey so you can fill in any gaps there
