Don’t call it an inn, say the proprietors: Longman & Eagle is “one inclusive entity/experience.” Empty Bottle pooh-bahs Bruce Finkleman and Peter Toalson, designer Cody Hudson, and woodworker Robert McAdams plan to open the six second-floor “sleeping rooms” of their Logan Square restaurant and tavern by December 15. Prices range from budget offerings at $75 per night to a 351-square-foot room with an “oversize party shower” for rates starting at $225; all are equipped with organic soy foam mattresses and accoutrements like Apple TV media centers. Some have minibars, and guests get complimentary tokens for shots off the cheap whiskey list downstairs. Reading materials supplied include the house zine, and vintage cassette players come with mix tapes by Laurent Lebec of Pelican, the Reader‘s Miles Raymer, and Steve Krakow (aka Plastic Crimewave, author of our Secret History of Chicago Music comic), among others.
