Chicago Restaurant Week is from January 22-February 4 this year. I’ve been a fan of restaurant week since I’ve lived in D.C. It’s always an excuse to check out new hot spots I’ve been wanting to get to as well as test out my palate to new cultural experiences. A place that has been on my…

Spicing Up The Standard Diner: Dove’s Luncheonette, Wicker Park, Chicago
The hip new diner in Wicker Park has been on my list for up-to a year now – Dove’s Luncheonette. A wildly popular breakfast and Chicago brunch nook, Dove’s Luncheonette has been known for it’s long (but worth it) wait. I lucked out when I had some visitors arrive early on a Saturday morning from…
The Duck Inn, Bridgeport, Chicago
One of the most talked about new restaurants in 2015 was The Duck Inn situated in Bridgeport. A hop, skip, and a jump from the Chicago White Sox field, The Duck Inn was one of the three Chicago restaurants named to Esquire’s Best New Restaurants List and we had the opportunity to hit the quaint, cozy…
Restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina
This summer I also had the opportunity to head back to one of my favorite warm East Coast beach spots, Charleston, South Carolina for another Bachelorette party! Charleston is a great vacation spot for couples, families, and friends. I love that you can quickly jump from a morning of shopping to a day on the…

San Francisco, California
Right after I hit up Santa Monica a few weeks back I flew to San Francisco to visit one of my other best friends. She had recently moved to San Mateo, only about 20 miles south of San Francisco. San Francisco just so happened to be one of the stops needed on my 30 before 30 list, so…
Gjelina, Venice Beach, California
Ranked #21 in the nation for its pizza and one of the top restaurants in Los Angeles, I was lucky enough to get to try Gjelina while I was staying with my friend in Santa Monica this week. Gjelina is a darklit modern ‘Venice style’ restaurant located on Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Not only do they…
Venice Ale House, Venice Beach, California
My go-to spot for people and sunset watching in California is the Venice Ale House in Venice Beach. I think I’ve been to this oceanfront restaurant every time I’ve visited LA – definitely a favorite of mine! This small beach bar serves a variety of local and craft beers, including surfboard samplers – yes, beer flights…
Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice Beach, California
At least once a year I try to go out to California and visit my friend who lives in Santa Monica. I got even luckier this year with another friend who moved out to San Francisco. Since I hadn’t taken a real vacation yet in 2014, I decided to take a trip out to California…
Tango Sur, Southport Corridor, Chicago
Okay, so I don’t have any photos from my experience at Tango Sur this past weekend but 1.) the experience was too amazing not to write about, 2.) my photos aren’t the best anyway, right?, and 3.) the restaurant was so dark that I don’t think pictures could do this experience justice. I have heard…
