Food Scene

Best burger I've ever had! Be prepared to wait. Recommend putting in your name and venturing over to Parlor Pizza or Lonewolf for a local drink. 15 minute walk to my apartment if you care to wait from home. Au Cheval will text you when your table opens up!

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!

Chicago's bike share network boasts ~300 stations throughout the city. Great way to get around and get some exercise! Bike lanes throughout the city make it easy to navigate (plug into google if you have a destination in mind). $9.95 for a 24 hour rental (additional fees for trips over 30 minutes). After the initial setup it's easy and can pickup / drop off a bike wherever you see those lovely blue bikes! Helmets in my hallway closet for your use!
