Happy Fur-iday!

This is Nelson's second Fur-iday appearance. Update: He's still scared of our creaky floors, but he was very brave and took a few steps off the carpet! You can do it Nelson!

We love our local artists!

Jenny Jing Zhang is a local artist and illustrator with a background in architectural design. She has an eye for small details and applies that skill to her gorgeous pen and ink drawings of Chicago's street life. Come pick a print or card featuring one of her illustrations at Sandmeyer's!

Route 66 is the ultimate American road trip, and it all starts in Chicago. Since 1955, the starting point stood at the intersection of Adams Street and Michigan Avenue across from the Art Institute of Chicago.

Known as “The Mother Road” and “The Main Street of America,” this iconic route stretches more than 2,400 miles and has connects travelers from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Coast.

In 2026, Chicago will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Route 66. Start your road trip with this guide from Sandmeyer's!
