I took up an invitation to visit my gal pal Shirley in the windy city for a week of girly catch-up, vodka cran, and classic Chicagoan eats on the cheap!
Here is part one of many findings:
Hyde Park: South Chicago neighbourhood housing students from the nearby U Chicago and a diverse and gentrifying strip of shops... Starbucks has moved in! Craving something sweet, we hit up Clarke's diner that is open 24/7. The diner welcomes you with its yellow warmth and friendly staff. Its booths are a rest haven for Chicago's finest on the beat. Among classic diner fare, Northshore potatoes is a specialty; a creamy, hash-brown mix specific to Chicago. We settled on a slice of monstrous red velvet cake and decaf coffee. 5 dollars.. cha-ching!
