The next chapter. Hello, Chicago! 💨

I regret to inform you that once you've lived in Chicago, every other city's skyline looks like a rough draft.

The local Chicago coffee scene has been a great exploration for me. I’m still so new. - Sawada - Discourse - Big Shoulders - Metric - Ipsento - McDonalds What am I missing and need to know?

My first October in Chicago is a wrap. Here are my highlights. - Perfect Fall weather - Epic Midwest foliage - Lake Shore Path ride - Green City Market - Sears Tower lunch view - Armitage Ale House Stick Date Cake - Thin crust pizza: Pizz'amici and Zarella - Italian sandwiches: JP Graziano, Nonna's, Tempesta Market 10/10 month. Where should I go first in November?

Perfect weather to match the view. Chicago is an elite city.

Here’s something incredible about Chicago. The food is top tier offering every cuisine imaginable with new openings to old school classics. The best restaurant I enjoyed this week was Armitage Alehouse.

Am I doing this right… Perfect day to taste one of the best sandwich shops in Chicago. Tempesta Market 🇮🇹 #13 The B. Franklin is a game-changer.

First Halloween as a Chicagoan. Lincoln Park went all out. Two-story skeletons on the front steps. The wife stopping at every stoop to admire. Which neighborhood is the best to trick or treat?

Here’s something incredible about Chicago. My Fall Friday venture takes me to The 606 Path. The elevated 2 mile trail connecting neighborhoods currently offers beautiful foliage and views. 🍂 Grab a Bad Butter croissant to start. Am I right?

Two months as a Chicagoan. Here's what I've learned. - Sears Tower, not Willis - No ketchup on hot dogs - Windy City is about the politicians, not the weather - Thin crust > deep dish - Winter is oversold What did I get wrong?

Brand new in Chicago. Pizzeria Gabbo from Lettuce Entertain You lands in Fulton Market with two styles of pizza under one roof. - Chicago Thin & Crispy - New York Crispy - Soft serve gelato window Chicago vs New York pizza, one roof. Get the gelato.

Chicago is adding a real one. Go Bears.

Everyone warns you about Chicago winter when nobody informs you about Chicago fall.

Perfect weather to match the view. Chicago is an elite city.

I moved to Chicago two months ago. Here are the highlights so far. - Clean city - Elite Fall - Best food in USA - Thin crust > deep dish - Lakeshore path is epic - No scaffolding everywhere like NYC - Midwest nice is real - Da Bears So far it’s 10/10 on the relocation. Ask me anything.

Waking up to a Chicago sunrise is a cheat code. Silent skyline. Zero chaos. Where’s your favorite spot to catch it?

Chicago restaurants are S tier. - Piccolo Sogno - Tre Dita - Joe's Stone Crab - Monteverde - Adalina Prime My top five. Elite food + ambiance. Thank you for the recommendations to date. What am I missing.

One month ago today. My person forever. 9.26.26

Everyone keeps saying Chicago weather is the worst yet it’s been the best for two straight months.

A great discovery of Chicago… The fantastic area of Lincoln Park on the north side has a zoo and it's free. Today we explored it. Lincoln Park Zoo was very enjoyable.
