Another Thursday post of Favorites thanks to Steph @ Not Entirely Perfect
One of the Chicago people I follow on Instagram recently found a list pinned to a door of the 10 things someone loves about Chicago…so I thought I would share some more of my favorites!
1. The Flag…I don’t know what it is but I do love the Chicago Flag. Have you seen it? If not here is a little bit of info!
2. The Food. I mean you guys know I love food, it is basically all I post about. There are so many options for foods from just about every ethnicity and country you can imagine. If you are in the mood for it then you will find it somewhere in this city and probably at any time of day/night too. It is easy to find favorites but I always encourage people to get out of downtown and try new restaurants in the neighborhoods! In case that doesn’t make you want to come and eat you can read “Why Chicago was voted the best food city in America”
(also if you look at my food or chicago labels you will find my many many posts about food)

3. The Skyline/Lakefront…There aren’t many other cities in the US that boast a skyline like ours with a pretty beach(who cares if its a lake, still has sand) right by it. I always giggle a little bit when I go downtown in other cities because they always look so small compared to what I grew up seeing. I love that I can walk from the John Hancock building to Oak Street Beach and hang out during the few months it is decent enough to be outside! Also that beach front goes on forever so even if you are all the way up in Evanston or all the way down in Hyde Park you can take your ass to the beach.
Don’t worry I have love for other cities and I know plenty of things that are not so great about Chicago but can’t help showing a little love on a Thursday!
We have a giant palette of the flag on our wall 🙂
And we FOR SURE have the best food!
Drives me nuts when people say 'that's not a beach.' WTF is it then? What else would it be called? 'Sandy area next to water where people lay towels?'
