Ravenswood's The Long Room Gets the Spotlight — Plus, Munch March Is Back for Year Five

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Ravenswood · March 8, 2026

Spring may still be working up the nerve to arrive, but Ravenswood is already buzzing with fresh neighborhood energy. This month, the Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce is shining its March Local Business Spotlight on The Long Room, the beloved neighborhood tavern and coffee house that has become a true Ravenswood institution. Owner Jason Burrell sat down with the GRCC to talk about what makes the spot so special — and it's no mystery. The Long Room is celebrated for its thoughtfully curated full-scale coffee program alongside a playful, ever-changing beer selection, making it the rare kind of place that genuinely works morning, noon, and night.

Meanwhile, Ravenswood is already building buzz around one of its most beloved annual traditions. The fifth annual Munch March Dessert & Appetizer Crawl is officially on the calendar for Tuesday, April 22nd, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM. The GRCC is inviting the whole neighborhood to emerge from hibernation for a laid-back evening of delicious sweets, savory treats, and community connection — with tickets going on sale soon. As one of the GRCC's signature walk-and-stroll events, Munch March is the perfect way to rediscover Ravenswood's restaurants and shops all in one night.

Whether you're warming up at The Long Room this weekend or marking April 22nd on your calendar for Munch March, there's never a shortage of ways to get connected in this neighborhood. Visit ravenswoodchicago.org to learn more and keep an eye out for ticket details.
