Chicago Staycation - Part 2

The second day my partner and crime and I went around Chicago we went a bit more low key. We visited the Lincoln Park/ Lakeview eateries, shops and sights. One of my many favorite things about Chicago is its claim to metropolitan lifestyle and its counterbalance with small pockets of interesting neighborhoods. Wicker Park, Andersonville, Jefferson Park, Streeterville, Bucktown, Old Town - you name - we got it. Well our day of productivity started with just like any other day...

{clearly we had forgotten about upcoming swimsuit season}

{in case you drooled over the last shot here is a better angle}

We risked a cinnamon roll coma to indulge in Chicago's very own favorite Ann Sather's. When visiting this fine city a stop at this place is a must. The above is one of two side items to your breakfast plate!! The only thing sweeter was our waiter Ella - a little old lady who has worked there 23 years and made me just want to put her in my pocket! Is there any other way to start a day of city stomping?

{apparently not}

Note: that's my friend Jackie....and yes, she's generally a happy person over most things.
