Where To Eat: Eight Bar & Patio

When Maple & Ash opened a few months back it took the Chicago restaurant scene by storm.

Where To Eat: The Sweet Petite

We’re not ashamed to admit that 80% of what we purchase is based on packaging. Sometimes the products live up to the hype & other times the company is lucky the packing is so darn cute.

Where To Eat: Bake Shoppe

Where To Eat: Maman

While for us Toronto was surely a vacation filled with tons of exploring, delicious meals, & lots of sightseeing, Maman felt like a completely different experience. Upon entering you’re instantly relocated to what feels like a Parisian cafe. Fresh pastries line the shelves while delicate decorations are adorned along the walls. With the option to sit inside or […]

Where To Eat: Pomp & Circumstance

A strong black building standing on the corner of a charming block of Chicago’s Old Town is sure to stand out. Contrary to it’s bold outside the interior resembles something straight out of the ’60s.
