CHICAGO — It's that time of year when Chicagoans miss the smell of fresh flowers and warm summer breezes the most, but one new restaurant is at least offering the former. Machine has opened in Wicker Park, and features an in-house floral shop. The restaurant is in the former Taus Authentic space at 1846 W. Division.

The flower shop inside the restaurant provides plenty of fresh edible flowers for cocktail and dish garnishes.

Patrons are also able to order custom bouquets from the shop to enjoy with their dinner and then take them home at the end of the night.
