Fiddlehead Cafe (Lincoln Square) (Ryan)

4600 N. Lincoln Ave.
773-751-1500
First of all, I have been spending more time in Lincoln Square recently and this place is just another reason why!  We stopped in for brunch on Saturday, our second experience with Fiddlehead.  The two gentleman that started the place are ex Bin 36 staff members.  Fiddlehead is located where the Square [...]

The Abbey Pub (Ryan)

3420 W. Grace
773-478-4408
The Abbey Pub has been a regular stop for me for almost 8 years.  Many Chicagoans visit this place on a regular basis to listen to live music.  The Abbey features everything from local acts that play in the main bar on the west side of the building to national touring acts that [...]

Afghan Restaurant (Rogers Park) (Ryan)

2818 W. Devon Ave. 
Definitely a cool experience, this is the first time I have had Afghan food.  The place is, well, not fancy to say the least, but a great place to try something new.   This is a perfect place to eat with a small group that is comfortable sharing plates so each person can [...]

Charmer’s Cafe 1500 W. Jarvis Ave. (Rogers Park)

This privately owned (Dan Sullivan) cafe is a great little corner spot in the center of the growing and changing Roger’s Park.  It sits at the corner of Greenview and Jarvis, just off the Jarvis stop on the Red Line.  They have good coffee and coffee drinks and good selection of Tea’s.  There are a [...]

Wildfire – 159 W. Erie

Where to start?
Couldn’t get a reservation on Tuesday for Friday night between 5:30pm and 9:30pm.  This could be good, but wasn’t.  They were booked too many large parties of people in from all over celebrating everything from birthdays to Bachelorette parties.  Not bad if you like being you-know-what and elbows with 150 tourists.  This is the only negative comment [...]

Alamo Shoes

Alamo Shoes
5321 N Clark St
Chicago, IL 60640
(773) 334-6100
I have had a lot of luck with this place recently.  Their prices are right on, even beating Zapos.com on a couple of recent purchases.  The two big things I like about this store are the service and the parking.  When you walk in, if they aren’t slammed, [...]

Feast (Restaurant) @ 1616 N. Damen

My wife and I and a couple of friends visited this restaurant for the first time on Friday night.  I had called earlier in the day to make reservations for 7:30pm and was able to get them.  This would have scared me had it not been for the blistering cold temperature and skin ripping wind [...]
