Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, announced his next business venture via Twitter: a tea house in our very own Highland Park
The singer's new tea house aims to be a cultural destination, and will feature rotating exhibits, guest lectures and an international selection of teas, NBC Chicago reports.
Corgan told Eater Chicago that the 30-guest capacity shop will open in March or April in the former U.S. Post Office on Roger Williams Avenue, and said the town's mayor has been extremely supportive. Corgan says he's aiming for a "Chinese-French," "salon vibe" reminiscent of 1930s tea houses.
We can't wait to see how it turns out!
