1. Red Mango
The Strawberry Milkshake and Cake Batter swirl is so ridiculously good. Go, go now!
Also: do NOT skip the popping bobba at the topping station. They look like very large caviar, but are fruit flavored (orange = mango, red = strawberry) and literally…More »

OH. MY. GOD.
Red Mango heaven is apparently located inside Northbrook Court.
I will happily battle… Read more »
2. Townhouse Kitchen & Bar
Week 2 of the Friday weekend kick-off meals in Deerfield/Northbrook, brought me to Townhouse. OpenTable points + Daisy Cutter on tap + deviled eggs on the menu is really all you need, to get the N household in after a work week.
At 5:30pm, the place…More »
3. Dundee Oriental Foods
Korean ready to eat food in the north suburbs! How awesome.
The discovery of this little "oriental market" is all thanks to Jelena, who hosted a CMYE at the Go Roma a few doors down. Of course, I can never resist wandering in a market, especially if…More »
4. Go Roma
Yet another example of Yelp working at its best. Attended a CMYE at this location a while back and have since returned multiple times to eat here, because I really like it. Had I never been invited to do so? I would not know the wonders of the Coke…More »
5. Le Nailspa
In Northbrook with some time to kill and some appalling looking digits? Stop into Le Nailspa!
This nail salon is so spacious, comfortable, and clean - I really wanted to nap on one of their massage chairs, but just stopped in for a manicure. Sam took…More »
6. Tom & Eddie's
I came (again).
T&E was OPEN!
I conquered.
In my attempt to eat as much of the menu as possible, the N's ordered 3 burgers with 3 different sides (we like to chow down, don't hate). The "Tried & True" is delicious and classic. The edamame is great for…More »

I expected to come here tonight and be yelling "I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE! I DRINK IT UP!" at J. This… Read more »
7. WildFish
Decent sushi in Deerfield, but be warned, the service matches the temperature of your food. No one is rude, but the lack of smiles won't bring me back either.
Also, I usually loathe the weird "modern" decor + swanky lounge music + menu full of funky…More »
8. Il Forno
A 4.5 star average? For shame!
The mushroom, spinach, garlic pizza we ordered did not taste remotely garlicky. The crust was cardboardy. The spaghetti with meat sauce was bland (again) and served lukewarm. Have you ever eaten lukewarm pasta? Pretty…More »
9. Northbrook Court
Malls aren't really my favorite places to be, but I happily spent 4 hours there (a personal achievement, I believe) at NBC this past weekend without complaining (J is so proud of me)!
Here are the awesome things about Northbrook Court
(also entitled:…More »
10. Trader Joe's
I *love* this location. The same friendly staff as everywhere else, but WIDE aisles. Also, I mostly only come here on Friday nights when most people find better things to do I suppose. Hardly any cart rage at all! What's better than shopping at…More »
11. Zapatista
A-okay Mexican fare in Northbrook.
Thumbs up:
* All the pictures of Zapata! Mustaches makes me happy.
* Spicy salsa! I like things to kick me a little. It makes life more exciting.
* $5 margaritas on Monday night. Add an extra 50c for the sugar-free,…More »
12. HomeGoods
Pop!
(That's the sound of my HomeGoods cherry being destroyed).
I came here looking for the $8 sports bras that Candice G snapped up. I did not find any... but what I did stumble across was a pretty hilarious collection of home decor products. Now, I…More »
13. Brunswick Zone-Deerfield
Some things you should know about me before we get started:
- I am an AWFUL bowler (as in, I am pretty ecstatic when I bowl above 47 in a game).
- I have bowled maybe 5 times in my entire life. (Wii bowling doesn't count)
- I've never paid to bowl.

14. Ruth's Chris Steak House
Northbrook, IL 60062
(847) 498-6889
Categories:
Seafood,
Steakhouses,
American (Traditional)
I have a difficult time differentiating between different high-end classic steakhouses. To me, an expensive steak is an expensive steak. Delicious once in a while, but definitely a product available at a handful of restaurants across the area. I…More »
15. Starbucks Coffee
A tiny little Starbucks outpost at Northbrook Court.
I like it because they make me soy lattes when I'm here on Friday afternoons that allow me to rage into the night. (Not really, more like, organize like a person with OCD). The people who work here…More »
16. AMC Northbrook Court 14
Definitely not my favorite theater, but I am at this mall quite often and this place serves its purpose of screening your main-stream movies. The theater seats could be a lot more comfortable, and the screens a little bigger. But, if you're at…More »
17. Roti Mediterranean Grill
Sometimes, I don't want to fuss with waiters telling lame jokes ("I see you REALLY didn't like the food" in response to a clean plate, told multiple times over the course of a meal - really?!) and opt for the (mostly) socialization awkwardness free…More »

Carbo Loading (8)Ha, like I'd ever actually need to? Despite not going on long runs I still like to indulge once in a while (i.e. all the time). |
Aah, Motherland! (15)Growing up in Hong Kong and living in Beijing have made me quite the connoisseur of food from China (aka The Motherland). These places are where I find authentic food that reminds me of home. |
