"​Look up, and baby you'll see the light"

​As we exited the train onto Grand and made our way out into the streets, I was warmly welcomed by the sun and quickly shuffled into the crowd. I actively watched people sweep through their own lanes with their headphones on and the rest of the world off. Me, on the other hand, I was too busy looking up. The architecture in Chicago is too beautiful not to pay attention to.

​Chicago, in my opinion, is a toss up between Boston and New York City.

​Few things I learned..
1) This city is cleaner than most, but homeless people are still very much everywhere. Be kind & mindful
2) Public transportation, aka the red or blue line, is key. Know your limits
3) Blend in with the city traffic and you'll be just fine
4) Some of the best food can be found here
5) If you like jazz or the blues like I do, you MUST go to a live show
6) Art can be found everywhere, in every corner, and it is beautiful

Ok.. onto the goods.  Art is first, food follows..

Good Eats

Girl & The Goat
This is one of the top restaurants in Chicago right now. We had a reservation made months in advance (10:15pm on a Monday was the only spot open) and I unfortunately barely remember visiting.. why? Well, this was my first night in town and we started drinking pretty early..... Needless to say, I was drunk for this experience.
SO, even though I know the food was amazing from the little I remember, my photos of the experience, not so much! Woops!

Broken English
The daily happy hour spot. Who doesn't like a $2 taco and cheap Mexican beer? Had some great mezcal here. If only I can remember the names of the brands...

Sunda
Delicious Asian food and craft cocktails? Yes please.
​Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
A family-owned local chain pizzeria that I just had to visit for some famous deep dish pizza.

Last but not least, I'd like to say a very special thank you to this lovely woman for showing me around this beautiful city..
Until next time, Chicago.
