Things To Do

Max and Jen grew up in the Chicagoland suburbs and lived in Logan Square for 2 years. The city has changed since we’ve left, but here are just a few of our regular spots.

XOCO

449 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60654

You can't miss these sandwiches! Max is obsessed and never misses an opportunity to eat here. He introduced it to Jen when they first started dating, and she's kind of obsessed too.

Lone Wolf

If you're eating in Fulton Market and inevitably have a long wait time, come to Lone Wolf for drinks. They serve our favorite beer: Zombie Dust from 3 Floyds Brewing.

Field Museum
