Argyle Street – Chicago's only shared street
"Argyle Street" is Chicago's first shared street. The concept allows cafes to extend outside their doors and provide spaces for the summer night market...

Lickity Split – Perfect treats!
"Lickity Split" in Chicago is my idea of perfect. If your favorite dessert is ice cream, as it is mine, you absolutely have to come get a 'concrete'...

Larry's – Unexpected spot
"Larry's" is a small bar in a renovated apartment building from 1928. It's a great watering hole for the neighborhood. I also love its back patio...

Roots Pizza Lincoln Square – Pizza and more
"Roots Pizza Lincoln Square" Chicago made an impression on me from the very first time. The crust is crunchy and buttery. Don't miss the mozzarella sticks!

About me
About me
Chicago is my chosen home! I moved here from St. Louis in 2003 and decided to stay. Chicago is the place I have developed my career and discovered my passions. As a social worker I have worked hard to establish a consistent self- care routine. Exploring and indulging in all the city has to offer is a major piece of my sanity! I love finding myself on a Saturday afternoon on an impromptu bar crawl with my friends and then wake up on Sundays to train by the lake for triathlons.
Why Chicago
I live in Uptown, a neighborhood that is known for diversity and 4am bars. Located on Lake Michigan, along the Redline and 6 miles north of downtown, it provides me with all the amenities of city living while allowing me to be part of a close-knit neighborhood.
Where else can you find me online?
I am honestly not a lover of social media but consider checking out a recently published book about Chicago; "An American Summer: Love and Death in Chicago". I am mentioned on page 59.
