I love their pancakes!!! In my humble opinion, they are the best in town! A local favorite of mine for breakfast or brunch any day of the week. On weekends, they are super crowded!

A local favorite of mine! The food, drinks and ambiance are spectacular. I love the mussels and scallops dish. This restaurant is also Black-owned. The owner has a retail shop on Hyde Park Blvd called the Silver Room. Local staples designed by Chicago local artists.

It's on the Northside of Chicago in Lincoln Park. I love this place. My favorite Nashville hot fried chicken in all of Chicago and everything on the menu is tasty. Also great frozen libations for the young (e.g., milkshakes) and old (e.g, frozen margaritas).

Oakwood beach

It's 3 blocks from my house. So beautiful for a morning walk, jog on the trails, tip your toes in Lake Michigan or for a DIVY bike ride (divvybikes). Simply make a left out of the house and walk to the corner (which is 41st). Make a right and walk straight for two blocks. There you will see a huge blue bridge. Take it over the freeway and you will be right at the beach on the other side. Enjoy!

Street Parking

Be sure to lock your car doors at night if you are parking on the street. I check mine daily and never leave stuff on the seats. :) #Chicago
