I moved to Chicago 12+ year ago for school and fell in love with the city. Chicago is full of grit, charm, and personality.
Here, I share my favorite finds in the city, from chic restaurants and cozy new coffee shops to vibrant neighborhoods and hidden gems.
Whether you’re a local looking for fresh inspiration or visiting for the weekend, this is your guide to experiencing Chicago through a stylish, thoughtful lens.
“Both times I have gotten the Dalgona Iced Coffee and both times I have loved it. It’s topped off with a bit of toffee, which slowly disintegrates while you’re drinking…”
“October is the best time of year. The weather is cool, the leaves are changing colors, and Chicago hosts their best annual event - the Chicago Open House…”
“…it is such a vibe with chandeliers and an open space concept. It’s a fun spot to take out of town guests, not to mention that it’s in the amazing West Loop neighborhood.”
“…I love their challah french toast, which includes orange marmalade, milk chocolate almond granola, and tahini whip.”
“…this hotel has it all. I mean all. Gorgeous artwork in the lobby, a clear and well executed art deco vibe, gorgeous light fixtures in every room, and furniture that is both stunning and comfortable.”
“…this Mediterranean tapas place is an experience. The design is fresh and chic, with trees in the dining area, an open ceiling, and patio/rooftop seating. Besides the stunning aesthetics, the food and drinks are amazing.”
