25 Classic Chicago Restaurants to Try
"Red sauce Italian restaurants like Mart Anthony’s were once much more prevalent around Chicago. They feature similar cuisine and vibe — a laid back, dim-lit dining room with large portions of pasta. While others — Club Lucky and Club Lago — come to mind, Mart Anthony feels a little different, tucked being a quiet block of West Town."

Best Things to do in Chicago With Toddlers (According to a Local)
"Located at the entry point of the Pier, I have a love/hate relationship with this fountain. I love how happy it makes my water-obsessed toddler but I hate how long it takes me to coax him into leaving. The 12,500 square foot fountain isn’t just a regular fountain."

14 secret parks and gardens in Chicago
"This slag-filled site at the confluence of Lake Michigan and the Calumet River was once home to the massive South Works U.S. Steel manufacturing plant that employed 20,000 workers at its peak. But the steel giant closed in the early ‘90s and the Chicago Park District acquired the vacant land. In 2014, it re-opened as Steelworkers Park—a 16.5-acre lakeside landscape dotted with pleasant walking paths, artifacts of the old U.S."
