A press release states, "The teashop is designed to serve as a social hub for the community, blending tea drinkers with the arts. Drawing from Corgan's love of music from the 30's, Madame ZuZu's is a Chinoise inspired teahouse found in Paris during this period."The shop's hours are 8 AM - 8 PM Tuesdays through Thursdays, 8 AM to 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, and closed Mondays.
Yes but what about free wifi?
As previously mentioned, the Smashing Pumpkins will kick off a tour soon that hits the Chicago area on October 19 at the Allstate Arena. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
