Saint's Alp Tea House is probably one of my favorite places in Chicago. Located at South Archer Avenue this tea shop restaurant serves some of my favorite teas and snacks. Throughout the time I've lived in/near Chicago I've gone here a lot. I've had the same waiter, accidentally and coincidentally almost every time I've gone. [...]

Fabcakes
Fabcakes is a breakfast, brunch, lunch, dessert cafe in Chicago's River North at 714 North Wells. It's relatively easy to get to from the Chicago Brown Line stop or the #37 bus. I met up with a friend there for a late breakfast. I ordered a chai latte and my friend ordered the vanilla rose [...]
Smoque BBQ
Smoque BBQ is located in Irving Park at 3800 North Pulaski Road. It can be a little confusing to get to using public transit and then walking. It's within easy walking distance of the Irving Park blue line stop, but depending on which exit you take you'd have to find a sidewalk road under the Kennedy [...]
Ken-Kee Restaurant
Ken-Kee Restaurant is located in Chinatown at 2129-A S. China Place. It's located right next to the zodiac square in new Chinatown. I went with a friend who ordered noodles and a Tangerine Lemon Iced Tea that tasted like a Starburst candy. They brought us tea when we sat down and left us alone unless [...]
Flaming Pot
Flaming Pot is a hot pot restaurant located at 2342 S. Wentworth Avenue in Chinatown. I had found it while on a late night walk with a friend from Sox Stadium that ended with us finding our way to Chinatown. Usually when I'm with friends we don't walk that far down Wentworth in the older [...]
Little Goat
Little Goat is a diner/bakery/cafe with roof top events located at 820 W Randolph St. It's actually right next door to de cero. A friend invited me to lunch there and I arrived a bit earlier than I had expected and was at a loss having gone in the bakery entrance. While I love sweets [...]
M Burger
M burger is a burger place with a couple locations, one in Watertower which is located at 835 North Michigan Avenue. They have monthly milkshake options, burgers, fries, vegetarian options, and a secret menu. My friends love to go there. I enjoy trying their different milkshakes. Both of the locations I have been in have [...]
The Meatloaf Bakery
Sounds weird doesn't it? It's actually delicious (well for those who consume meat). The Meatloaf Bakery is located at 2464 North Clark Street near Lincoln Park. This is not a vegetarian or vegan friendly shop. It's a bakery but everything is meat. They make cupcakes and pastries but it's actually all meatloaf of some form [...]
Cafe Prague
Cafe Prague is a Czech restaurant located at 6710 West Belmont Avenue. A friend told me about Cafe Prague, since I had been to Prague and might enjoy some Czech food. The first time I tried to go I tried to go with all of my classmates from Prague, however I had just gotten back [...]
Eataly
Eataly is a two story shopping experience located at 43 E Ohio St. I call it an experience, sometimes a monster, because the first time I went it was super confusing. I'm sure the fact I went after it had only recently opened and was packed to the brim didn't help. It has 23 restaurants, a [...]
