1. Barnaby's Family Inn
Half-price menu items during Monday Night Football? I'm THERE!
Used to come here for years during the summers as my father's league softball teams gathered for post-game meals and drinks. I grew up loving and knowing the pizza pretty well, enjoying…More »
2. Booby's Charcoal Rib
How have I not reviewed this place yet!?
Been dining here since I was little kid (I remember what this place looked like before it was remodeled several years back) and have always enjoyed the awesome hot dogs, chicken, and french fries. The Caesar…More »
3. Pickwick Theater
Hands down, one of my favorite theaters.
Why? Three reasons: art deco architecture, historic charm, and low ticket prices.
The first time I visited the Pickwick was on an elementary school field trip to see a live performance of "A Christmas Carol." I…More »
4. Gail Borden Library
What could beat being curled up with a good book next to a fireplace, overlooking a great view of the river, and sipping a hot cup of tea? For this girl, not much! (OK, if Johnny Depp were sitting next to me, holding my hand, that would be the icing…More »
5. Spunky Dunker Donuts
I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS PLACE ALL. DAY. LONG. I kid you not.
In college, my friends and I had a favorite 24-hour donut place that we would visit at 2am because it had the best name ever (Jolly Pirate Donuts) and interesting customers.
When I…More »
6. Burnidge Forest Preserve/Paul Wolff Campground
Quite possibly my favorite forest preserve. On warm days, I would drive out here just to hang out rather than walk to the forest preserve near me. They have an awesome RV campground, miles of trails (some short, some long), a couple nice quiet spots…More »
7. Mount Prospect Public Library
I honestly haven't been in here for a couple years since I've moved to other towns but this is THE SPOT where I basically grew up. I loved this library before it became the library we know it as. I still remember walking in the dinky doors and going…More »
8. St Adalbert Cemetery & Mausoleums
I'm the weirdo that loves walking through cemeteries.
There, I said it.
Moving on...
My love for graveyard wanderings was sparked long before I became a 'regular' here, but this is the place where I was able to indulge in it on a regular basis. I lived…More »
9. Superdawg Drive-In
Chicago, IL 60646
(773) 763-0660
I'm pretty much in love with the old-time drive-in feel of this location. The hot dogs are damn delicious too. I usually order hot dogs without anything on them but here, I get almost everything. Mmm! Now I'm craving some for lunch.....
The only…More »
10. Jerry's Fruit & Garden
Holy crap. It's crazy in here!! I've never seen a food market with so many people overflowing in the aisles and rushing around to grab the food before other people can. Maybe it was the time of day, but my dad said it's always like that (he took me…More »
11. Hearing Care of Palatine
When I had to look for a new audiologist a couple years ago, I had a recommendation to come here. Regina (the owner/audiologist) was incredibly friendly and helpful from the start. She had me fitted for a top-of-the-line hearing aid brand and met…More »
12. Sparrows Nest Thrift Store
Palatine, IL 60067
(847) 705-6852
Categories:
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Thrift Stores
I came in here to find some cloth napkins or handkerchiefs to wrap up my holiday gifts in (I like to reuse, not buy paper just to throw it out). I amazingly found what I needed -- eight holiday cloth napkins for $4! I also picked up a bag of holiday…More »
13. Caponies Express - CLOSED
Never been to a Caponie's before but since this was across the street from the coffeehouse and I want to try new things, I walked in an ordered a slice of sausage pizza to go. The pizza was delicious (the empty box is sitting next to me right now).…More »
14. Grazie Coffee Cafe - CLOSED
Chicago, IL 60631
(773) 775-3312
Categories:
Restaurants,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Edison Park
Stopped by this place on my way home from work today since I'm on a quest to find some decent coffee places in my area (aside from Starbucks). Since I don't drink coffee, I judge places on how well they make their chai tea lattes (and any cider or…More »
