Brothers’ Creamery is the summer treat off Broadway in East Lakeview Chicago.

It’s a bit of a squeeze inside but the ice cream options make up for it! I tried the wildberry cheesecake concrete and it was fabulous.

Dad’s place opened this year in the old Houndstooth Saloon off Clark Street. They have live music and karaoke on the weekends, and while their kitchen is pending expansion for a larger menu they still have a small selection of bar bites.

Hubbard Inn has great happy hour specials weeknights from 5-7, with drink selections under $8 and $10 dollar appetizers.

We tried their whipped ricotta, wagyu meatballs, and popcorn chicken, with a non-happy hour specialty cocktail, “Kenny the Smokeshow”

Stopped into Almost Home Tavern to watch the Cubs Game over lunch. They have a sweet lunch special on weekdays for a sandwich and soup for $12. I added on their fry medley that is a mix of crinkle and curly fries!

OMi is a Japanese cafe in East Lakeview, Chicago IL that has a variety of smoothies, teas, and coffees to pair with pastries and dessert level toasts. I tried a cheese danish with a barista-created Biscoff-Latte, and finished off with their coco lovers toast.

New Cheesie’s location unlocked in wrigleyville! I think their menu is a little more limited than off Belmont but they have a well stocked bar and it’s even closer to post baseball game munchies.

I chanced upon Bad Luck Club in Ravenswood, Chicago.

The couple that runs the shop makes it a priority to cultivate products from local artists and small businesses so it’s unlikely you’d be able to find some of their stock at a big box store or mass manufactured.

Taco Moro is tucked away near Irving Park and Clark St in Lakeview Chicago. It’s a small counter service shop offering different plates, but their quesabirria taco was 🔥🔥🔥

Finish off with a sweet treat and a bottled Coke and you’re in for a good time!

JuiceRx has different toast, sandwiches, smoothie, coffee, and açaí bowl options that was a surprising variety! I expected just to see a juice selection.

I loved both of the toasts I tried-especially the avocado with fig and pomegranate seeds!

Get your smash burger fix at The Region in the Roscoe Village neighborhood of Chicago.

It was a busy lunch rush in this tiny 50s styled burger shop with different burger, hot dog, and shake/float options. Though there isn’t a lot of sitting space inside, there’s tons of patio space.
