Chicago Foodie

The city of Chicago will always be near and dear to me. 
It's heart and soul lives in the vibrant neighborhoods and within the people who call them home. Whether you're admiring the skyline from Lake Michigan or taking a stroll through the streets, you'll be able to find the true beauty of the city. It has exemplary architecture, delicious restaurants, and the best shopping in the Midwest [or so I think]. 

Explore the color and variety that Chicago has to offer. 
I have composed a list of my five all-time favorite gems for foodies. 

Metropolis Rotisseria and Annette's Italian Ice
They serve world's best ice-cream. If you don't believe me, ask my boyfriend. We ate there five days straight. I wish I was kidding. 

Floriole Cafe and Bakery
Floriole uses fresh, local ingredients and their bakery specializes in french pastries, which are divine. 


Green Street Smoked Meats
First off, this place is legitimately hard to find if you don't know where to look. Once inside you'll discover a smokehouse-meets-rustic warehouse aesthetic with all the meats and side one could dream of. 

Mercadito Fish Company 
Within the Talbott Hotel you will find a contemporary American seafood eatery. It is the best of casual and fine dining. By the way I highly recommend their cocktails, the Annie Ox is must have!

Pelago Restaurant 
If you're looking to experience Italian food and dining in a whole new way then this is the place for you. It may cost you a pretty penny, but it is definitely worth it! 


P.S. Today is the day. 
Farewell, Omaha.
