Things To Do
Logan Arcade
We went here for our first Valentine's Day. Vero crushed the Jurassic Park game and Mortal Kombat (obviously). Shiraz was so impressed that he professed his love to Vero after a shot of tequila
Music Box Theatre
Lots of great new and classic movies to see here. Get a bottle of wine, kick back and relax
Sun Wah BBQ
Come here with a bunch of friends and get the duck
The Spice Room
Great Indian/Pakistani takeout
Antique Taco Wicker Park
Shiraz worked here for six years, tell them Shiraz sent you and they'll hook you up
Flying Saucer
Vero (the pancake connoisseur) says they have the best pancake in the city here. I think she's right
Café Colao
Shiraz would go here once a week when he lived in Humboldt Park and talk about the similarities in Native American and Puerto Rican political prisoners with Wanda over a cortado and steak and egg sandwich.
Metric
Best coffee in the city
pochos
Best brunch in the city and even better people
Chile Toreado
No misses on the menu. Our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood
La Chaparrita Taqueria
A little taste of Mexico City style tacos in the city. Ask for the Shiraz meal (two lengua tacos, two asada tacos and a papaya agua fresca)
Ping Tom Memorial Park
Great park to walk around in after a nice meal from Chinatown
Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings
Shiraz says these are the best gyoza he's ever had. Get the lamb coriander dumplings
Northerly Island
Great park to roam around in that's right on Lake Michigan. Might see some migrating birds here
Birriería y Taquería El Arandas
Hungover from the wedding and want a cure? Get some birria here
Redhot Ranch
Gotta get a Chicago dog while you're in the city!
