Guidebook for Chicago
Food Scene
It can be a crazy scene and wait for brunch or dinner in the main resturant but the Off Site Bar (or OSB at L&E) is a small back patio space is right next door and functions as a stand-alone ‘micro bar’ and has a small menu. It's great for a drink or two with a small to medium party while you explore the neighborhood or wait for your table.

This spot never disappoints. You can take anyone and everyone here and they will love it! The menu is spectacular and is always changing. I would recommend going a bit early to put your name in and then swing by Bowtruss for coffee, the farmer's market and Comfort Station gallery.

My favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood because of it's chill atmosphere and delicious and wonderful selection of caffeinated beverages. London Fog, Ipsento (on ice), and their nitro coffee are all my go tos when I pop in on my way to the Western blue line stop. They have a 606 location too!

Cash only but BYOB! You can stop across the street at my favorite wine shop in the city and pick up a bottle or two to enjoy with dinner. The PALMITO SALAD and YUCA SERVED
WITH MOJO (Garlic Oil) are my two favorite treats!

My favorite ramen spot, it's BYOB and it is so close to my place! The brussel sprouts are a must order and their specials are always fantastic. It is a great place to bring a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters. Don't let the line fool you, you can get a seat.

Belly Shack
1912 North Western AvenueDrinks & Nightlife
The decor is straight out of my friend's parent's WI basement and the classic cocktails sound like something you would find out of a bartenders manual from the 60s/70s but don't let that fool you. It all works and the cocktails are nothing like what your parent's drank. I would recommend checking it out in an off-peak hour to avoid a wait and you'll have better luck grabbing a table or spot at the bar.

Remember when you would go play video games at your local arcade? Well this is the same thing but with adult beverages and you don't have to mow the lawn before you go.

Parks & Nature
The 606 or Bloomingdale Trail is a new addition to the city as of last summer. You can get on at any of the spots right by my place (Western, California, etc) and take a walk, run, jog, or bike on the trail. Make a pit stop at Small Cheval for a burger and a beer on the outside patio. No worries about wearing your athleisure wear.
