Obviously I love celebrating and all of the best celebrations involve food. In the spirit of the Holiday season, I thought I would put together a little list of some of my favorite places to eat in the city.
· Pump Room, located at 1301 N. State Pkwy. – Beautifully designed. Great place to go for a drink or dinner.
· Dao Thai, located at 230 E. Ohio – The best Thai food in Chicago.
· Eataly, located at 43 E. Ohio – Grab a glass of wine and just explore.
· Coalfire Pizza, located at 1321 W. Grand Ave.- The best thin crust pizza in Chicago. Worth the trip and the inevitable wait.
· Butterfly Sushi, located at 1156 W. Grand Ave– Best sushi at a reasonable price. BYOB.
· Le Colonial, located at 937 N. Rush– Super romantic setting with amazing food.
· Fig & Olive, located at 104 E. Oak Street – New hotspot in Chicago with great healthy food and a slightly Tuscan/California vibe.
· Rose Angelis, located at 1314 W Wrightwood Ave.- Romantic Italian restaurant tucked away in Lincoln Park.
· Quatrinos, located 626 N. State Street– Great spot for big groups, fun and loud.
· Café Iberico, located at N. Lasalle Ave 739– Spanish tapas, another great spot to go with a large group.
· Celeste, located at 111 W. Hubbard– My current favorite place to get a drink, because 1) it’s quiet and 2) the White Flower drink is my absolute favorite.
· Balena, located at 1633 N. Halsted– Great atmosphere and Italian food.
· RL, located at 115 E. Chicago Ave. – One of the places that my family always goes to around Christmas time. Perfect place during the Holidays.
· Bar Pastoral, located at 2945 N. Broadway St.- Sweet little spot in Lakeview, perfect for a glass of wine and a really good cheese plate.
· Le Creperie, located at 2845 N. Clark St.- Perfect place for romantic French crepes, feels like it is right out of France.
· Gemini Bistro, 2075 N. Lincoln Ave. – Beautiful place in Lincoln Park for really good food. Never too loud.
· The City Winery, 1200 W. Randolph St. – Really fun atmosphere in the West Loop, great for big groups of people since most of the food is meant to be shared. Beautiful space to sit down and see a show.
Enjoy good food in the company of the people He has blessed you with.
