Natalie & Adam
Things To Do
Honeybear Cafe
Excellent brunch spot with a cute, laidback atmosphere and portions the size of your head!
Hidalgo Restaurant
Best dollar tacos on the Northside! Al pastor is our fave and if you're into a bit of adventure and spice try the flor de calabaza quesadilla.
Ghareeb Nawaz Restaurant
Amazing little Indian food joint. We highly recommend the butter chicken, beef & cauliflower. You really can't go wrong here!
Parkside Gyros
Delicious and surprisingly cheap little burger (and other greasy sandwiches) joint, right next to a park for easy picnics!
Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company
A truly unique take on the well known Chicago deep dish pizza with a cult following! (If you're looking for classic deep dish, we are team Lou Malnati's all the way!)
The Hoosier Mama Pie Company
Who doesn't love pie? Fantastic options for both sweet and savory slices.
Lickity Split Frozen Custard
Great spot for a frozen treat to cool off in the summer, and where we celebrated our fourth anniversary only hours before Adam popped the question! Another great ice cream option is Jeni's Splendid for frosé ice cream or Margies Candies for the nostalgic soda shop feel.
KOVAL Distillery Tour
Natalie & Adam's second anniversary date, go on a distillery tour of Koval! They are a local Chicago distillery that makes both gin and bourbon, Natalie and Adam's favorite spirits respectively. If you like gin, Natalie especially recommends trying their cranberry gin liqueur.
Broadway Antique Market
Awesome vintage shopping! Also be sure to check out the main strip of Andersonville, there are a ton of great vintage and locally-made shops in that neighborhood.
Urban Kayaks on the Chicago River
For those looking for an adventurous afternoon, you can rent kayaks and travel the Chicago river downtown! Tours also available if you want a bit more structure or to learn more about the city.
Bad Axe Throwing
We went here for one of Adam's birthdays, no better way to channel your inner viking!
The Bean (Cloud Gate)
A total cliché, but definitely worth taking some silly reflection pictures for an iconic Chicago moment!
