Located across the street from The Hoxton and underneath Momotaro, it's a reasonable reservation with a chill atmosphere, great drinks, and even better Japanese bar bites. Chicken wings and red miso lamb chops are must-orders.
For those of you who are disappointed that this isn't a Texas wedding, get your BBQ fill down the street. No reservations, just wait in line to order then grab a picnic table. Carries Tess's Texan stamp of approval, 'nuff said.
The first restaurant we went to in Chicago and still one of our favorites. Delicious Mediterranean food and a beautiful outdoor patio. Reserve early or roll the dice on a seat at the bar
Amazing Croatian food right down the street from our venue. Reserve early
For those looking to explore a different part of town, this Vietnamese spot is just off the Magnificent Mile in the Gold Coast neighborhood. Between the pho, curries, and stir fry, there's a lot to love.
Our favorite sandwiches in the city. Get The B Franklin or The Dante
Authentic Italian sandwiches, an easy walk from everything
For the most devoted Foodies, this Filipino spot has the best breakfast in Chicago. Show up early and be prepared to wait in line. We waited 2.5 hours and it was still somehow worth it.
If you're looking for an easier breakfast bite, this is your spot. Delicious quiche. Couldn't be closer.
A bit of a trek (near Wrigley) but these bagels are the real deal. Matt would put the Pastrami breakfast sandwich up against any bagel anywhere
Our favorite Saturday morning activity. Check out the pastries at Bennison's or phlour bakery
The best coffee in Chicago, locations throughout the city
