Crisp is unique! It's a fun local eatery that serves chicken in a couple different styles. If you like less spicy, try the Sassy. If you enjoy spicy, try the buffalo flavor. You won't regret it!

Our favorite brunch spot. This quaint chain serves some amazing in-house specialties. Always start out with the bread platter and try the speculoos or hazelnut spread.

This is the go-to for the late night, unhealthy, extravagant grilled cheese urges. With flavors like buffalo wing, greek salad and jalapeño popper, there is sure to be something to fit your taste (as long as you like cheese).

Drinks & Nightlife

This beautiful rooftop bar has stunning views overlooking the Lincoln park zoo, south pond, North avenue beach, and Diversey harbor. With a retractable roof, this rooftop can be enjoyed year round, but I would still recommend bringing a jacket

Sightseeing

Check this out... only a short block walk away from the house. Watch the sailboats and exotic yachts sail in and out of the harbor at sunset. Go for a jog on the lakefront trail or even rent a sailboat for lessons at the Chicago Yacht club.
