Best Things to do in Chicago With Toddlers (According to a Local)
"Located in Lincoln Park, the Peggy Notebaert Museum is dedicated to expanding knowledge of nature and environmental science. While this might sound advanced for a young child, the museum is actually very toddler-friendly with numerous hands-on exhibits. From an up close visit with critters to an obligatory “burn some energy” play space, the Peggy Notebaert is a gem in the city."

The Best Italian Restaurants in Chicago
"A stalwart that's served hearty portions since Prohibition From pastas and ultra-tender veal limone, to some of the best tiramisu in the city, Bruna’s has all things Italian pretty well covered. The Oakley Avenue mainstay (located in the REAL Little Italy) has been serving the hungry folks of Chicago since 1933, and it shows. Stop in for an authentic experience of roast chicken made with an old-school, original recipe (served only on Sundays) and more than enough wine to make this a regular thing."

Their longstanding history in the neighborhood is more than enough proof of their culinary prowess, but for the doubters, one bite is all it takes to squash all doubt. Bruna's has got all things Italian covered with their exceptionally tender veal limone and a great selection of pastas."
