Barnes & Noble
1601 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, Illinois, 60647
This store is a visual masterpiece, housed in a stunning historic bank building. Visitors are blown away by the architecture, especially the ceilings. While it is a beautiful place to browse, many shoppers are disappointed by the lack of seating and the absence of a cafe. There is also some local tension regarding its impact on independent bookstores in the area. Still, it is a must-visit for the architecture alone.
