Giving a token of love at Lowrider
Diners can share the love at Lowrider Cafe, across from the Main Branch of the Library downtown at 316 N. Michigan St. Owner Jacob Estrada and his wife Sylvia sell “love tokens” to diners for $7, good for one free meal to be provided for individuals in need. All customers who buy a token are also given a paper heart to write their name on, which is added to a collection on the wall. “I just want to do good, like I was taught to do. Even if I’m imperfect, I feel like I’m doing something right,” Estrada explained.
