Food Scene
Great food with an outdoor terrace overlooking the river of interest? River Roast is great for brunch or dinner with unique concoctions, food and often a live band! Recommend putting your name in and waiting for outdoor seating (stroll down to City Winery across the street). Perfect for a date or a group of friends!

Up for a laid back vibe and out -of-this world breakfast creations? Bongo Room in Wicker Park (more authentic) or South Loop (closer) is a must. If going on a weekend, get there before 9 otherwise you'll be waiting an hour +

Date night?! Very romantic place with great cocktails, good food and an even better vibe. Quick Uber or ~15 minute walk from apartment. If it's busy, put your name in and sneak over to Bar Siena across the street for a beverage first. Worth the wait!
