September brought visitors and touristing. We got to Uncommon Ground in Wrigleyville for brunch and dinner, and we did a lot of Logan Square exploring:
- Lula Cafe's Monday night farm dinner
- 90-miles Cuban Cafe's Cuban food
- Revolution Brewing's local beer and Oktoberfest celebration
- Sunday Dinner Club's secret supper - a highlight of my foodie world
In October we traveled to San Diego for a wedding and enjoyed beautiful warm weather. Highlights included: the Little Italy Farmers' Market's refreshing beverages and local pomegranate, walnuts, and dried fruit and brunches at The Mission and Hash House a go-go.
November took us on a 10-hour trek to West Virginia. It was all worth it for the Hellbender's burritos, Sirianni's pizza, and most of all the company of the uberbuddies in a winter wonderland! See the picture of Dolly Sods Wilderness Area!
November has brought more visitors, and this time we were on a mission for some must have Chicago standards. With advice from my Mad Science of Chicago folks, we tried Portillo's for Chicago-style hot dogs and Lou Malnati's for deep dish pizza. Coffee at Intelligensia and pastries from the French Market (Sweet Miss Givings' cherry chai scone) also fortified us for a sunny afternoon at Garfield Park Conservatory and finally for the tour at the Newberry Library. FYI, they have an awesome bookstore. It's paradise!
