Healthy food done well, for just a fraction above what most are happy to pay (but worth it). Cafe style and very casual. Weekdays it's flooded with moms, kids and local business people. Weekends it’s just full of everyone, but the wait is short and they churn out the food quickly.

A local, family diner. Just order a skillet and trust us. If there’s a line to wait is goes quickly, and the skillets typically come out super fast. Old fashioned place, super friendly, fast-paced and much like your grandma’s kitchen. A weekend brunch favorite.

local farm-to-table option. They specialize in Midwest food (the entrees are mostly burgers, but worth it), and they have great salads, sides and cocktails. At peak times you will likely have a wait, but grab a drink and soak in the local vibes while you wait.

More upmarket but still casual. Situated right on Lake Michigan at Fullerton Ave. During the day the views are incredible, all along the Lake and then into downtown. A slightly fancier menu; great for brunch (but try to book, or else wait and soak in the views).

A local gem that provides superior food in a sharp interior, but still with a relaxed vibe. The food is always exceptional and the service is impeccable. A special occasion place, or a ‘splash out’ option because you can.

A Japanese restaurant that is high-class and offers some of the best Japanese food we’ve had with a local feel. Similar to Entente, upmarket food and service but not in a stuffy environment.

A newer ‘bar’ option for our locals. But, so far great food, great for sports watching, and friendly and quick service. A great casual sports bar option with a fun vibe.

A stay in Chicago wouldn’t be complete without visiting a blues bar. We have a great local option a half mile walk away: Kingston Mines. Its infamous, but shows its age. Go later in the night, order a bucket of beer, and soak in the crowd, the music and the history of this place. A great bar to finish your night at.
