Did you know Chicago and Paris are official Sister Cities?! They really are! 🇺🇸🇫🇷

Some say Chicago is the Paris of the U.S. Between the world-class architecture, the river winding through downtown, the iconic bridges and the Riverwalk, it’s easy to see why.
.
What do you think? Does Chicago deserve the title?!

Welcome home, Patrick Kane! 🙌

After spending the past three seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, he’ll now reunite with the Blackhawks as the team looks to take the next step in its rebuild.

A new South Indian restaurant just opened in The Glen Town Center, and it’s fantastic! #ad 🇮🇳
.
@maduraikitchenglenview is a family-owned restaurant in Glenview. The menu is built on family recipes dating back to 1975 and the regional flavors of Madurai, one of South India’s culinary capitals.
.
The food is incredibly flavorful thanks to their proprietary spice blends, which are still made in Chennai before being shipped here to recreate the authentic flavors the founders grew up with in India.
.
Here are our must-try dishes for when you visit:
➖ Curry Leaf Gobi
➖ Spinach Kale Chaat
➖ Pepper Chicken
➖ Chicken Tikka Masala
.
They also have a great cocktail program with drinks inspired by South Indian ingredients like curry leaves, cardamom and ginger. Try the Curry Leaf Martini.
.
This is definitely a spot worth checking out! Send this to someone who would love to go here with you.
