For this week’s Friday Fit Tip I wanted to share with you one of my favorite places to run. The Lincoln Park Zoo. Now that I live in the LP I am exploring new running routes, and this past week I decided to run through the zoo. Now I’ve run through the zoo once before…

You were wearing your pajamas. I was overdressed (dressed like a normal person) in jeans and a shirt. I met you at Vaughan’s the week before St. Patrick’s Day, where you were sipping (chugging) early afternoon cocktails (beers and shots). You were sitting next to a large dog that wasn’t yours (stolen?). You had a…

This summer I’ve really gotten into the show Mad Men on AMC. I was very excited when all four seasons came out on Netflix July 27. When I found out Janie Bryant (costume designer for Mad Men) had designed a collection for Banana Republic, I went bananas! (pun intended) The collection debuted today and so…

The Southern Mac & Cheese Truck Macaroni and cheese is undoubtedly a part of my top 5 favorite foods of all time. To think when I was a young picky eater, I would refuse the home-made gooey goodness because I actually preferred the stuff that came in that blue box. Real cheese? No way! Give…

Lincoln Park, I have to ask: Are we over cupcakes? I recently got a newsletter from Yelp (Yelp: why do you have a newsletter?) that claimed Grilled Cheese is the new Cupcake. First of all, what does that even mean? Are they implying that grilled cheese gives us the same fuzzy feeling that cupcakes do,…
Read More...This past weekend was my first in my new Lincoln Park apartment. Despite the fact that we were still sans tv, internet and furniture my roommates and I were determined to make the best of it. Unfortunately our downstairs neighbors were way ahead of us. Their apartment was packed from Thursday-Sunday with what I am…

Tuesday is slowly becoming my favorite day of the week. After my long commute from my office in the suburbs back to the city, I head down towards Halsted and North Ave to pick up something to eat from the group of food trucks that are parked around the CB2. Last night I hit the…

I’m trying to decide who she is. It’s 5am on North Avenue, and for the life of me, I can’t figure why she’s working out right now. To be fair, she probably can’t decide why I’m standing on the sidewalk, staring at her with Jameson-glazed eyes through a ceiling-high window, taking her picture like she’s a zoo attraction. I’m drunker…
