Friends in town this weekend! And lovely weather for it too.

One of the best things about our neighborhood is that there’s so much to do that our radius with visitors keeps getting smaller. On your first trip to Chicago, sure, we’ll take you downtown, but after that, we almost never need more than a 20 minute walk to anything.

This time around: brunch at Etta, pasta at Daisies, and an indecisiveness-fueled side-by-side between Detroit-style pizza from Jet’s and tavern style from my beloved Pizza Matta. We also managed to squeeze in drinks at Best Intentions and continued chipping our way through Volume 3 of the menu at The Meadowlark.

Clearly we have not yet discovered the answer.
