This is your sign to visit a charm bar for your next girl’s day 💞💞 @lovelyintentions @lovelylittlethings_90

I had such a fun evening at @lovelyintentions in Wicker Park making my very own bag charm keychain! ✨ The staff is available to help with any suggestions (thicker or thinner chain, smaller or bigger charms) and help with assembly if you need a hand. Sooo many options to choose from between bag charms, necklaces, and bracelet, both my gold and silver girlies.

Already thinking about my next visit to make more charms and try out the perfume making area! SO CUTIEEEEE 💓💓💓 taken in Wicker Park, Chicago by @samnoms_

Fall-themed cafe with coffee flights and seasonal treats 🍁🎃 @octobercafechicago

This place was just too darn cute. You’re greeted by the friendliest staff saying “Hello Pumpkin!” and immediately hit with the smell of warm cinnamon. The whole space feels like stepping into a cute cozy log cabin up north.

I tried the coffee flight and pumpkin waffles and was pleasantly surprised that nothing was overly sweet. If I wasn’t already in the autumn spirit, I definitely am now!! 🍂🍂

@kizamisushi in Lincoln Park, Chicago 🍣

A family-owned sushi restaurant and bar located in Lincoln Park. I was seriously impressed by the freshness of the fish and have added this spot to my list of favorite sushi restaurants in Chicago!

cute lil cocktail spot tucked right off Clark Street in Andersonville 🍸 @elixirandersonville

Elixir is softly lit and cozy with a mix of bar, table, and lounge seating (plus a patio while we still have a few good days left of weather!!)

The cocktail menu is well-curated with plenty to choose from, and there’s a solid selection of shareable bites if you’re looking to make a night of it. The buffalo chicken egg rolls are a must-order!

And if you want to keep the night going, @replayandersonville is right next door, so you can easily make an evening out of drinks, bites, and arcade games.👾

An Andersonville-favorite sports bar with free arcade gameplay 👾🕹️ @replayandersonville

Tucked along Clark Street, Replay is serving up classic American comfort food alongside seasonal cocktails, a huge bourbon selection, and 26 (!!) beers on tap. 🍻 The menu has everything from tacos and burgers to wings and other bar favorites, so it’s an easy spot to settle in for dinner and a few drinks with a group of friends.

You can also play an array of classic arcade games for free all night (there are a few that are pay to play), catch your fav sports team on one of the TVs, or make your way to the photo booth between rounds.

Replay is also conveniently located next to @elixirandersonville if you’re down for one more round. 🍸

Oktoberfest brews have already hit the taps at this Bavarian-style beer hall in Lincoln Park 🍻 @prost_chicago

Prost! is serving up seriously good German-inspired fare, from classic schnitzel and bratwursts to hearty dishes that pair perfectly with a cold beer. There are plenty of brews to choose from, making it a great spot to settle in for a few rounds with friends.

Everything truly tastes better when it’s served in a liter stein. 🇩🇪🍺

Chicago from the sky just hits different with @flyhelitours 🚁🌆 #hosted

I recently took a helicopter ride over the city with Fly Heli, and while we were definitely a little nervous going into it (neither of us had ever been in a helicopter!), the staff was so reassuring and made the whole experience feel incredibly easy.

By the time we took off, the sun had already set, so we got to see the city fully lit up for the night. 🌃 We flew past some of Chicago’s most iconic landmarks, including Soldier Field, the Sears Tower, Chinatown, Navy Pier, and so much more. Seeing the skyline from above was such a cool experience and definitely something I’d recommend adding to your Chicago bucket list.

Whether you’re a local looking for a fun new experience or visiting Chicago for the first time, this is such a unique way to see the city!!!

MUST-TRY BRAZILIAN CAFE + KITCHEN IN CHICAGO 🇧🇷☕️🥮 @chef_thiagokitchencafe

Chef Thiago has created something truly special here, and you can tell how much care and passion he puts into his craft.

The selection of food tasted incredible, from the savory dishes to the dessert case filled with beautiful decadent cakes. 🍰 I especially fell in love with the Two Lovers cake. I could genuinely eat that every da and it has earned a spot in my death row meal lineup (lol).

The interior is beautiful and decorated so well with so much thought put into every detail. You can feel the care that went into creating this space, both in the food and the atmosphere.

If you’ve never tried Brazilian food before, Chef Thiago’s Kitchen + Cafe is a wonderful place to start. I truly cannot recommend it enough.

Enjoy Latin fusion and Brazilian Samba dancing at @carnivalechi 🍸💃🏽🥘 for a fun night out on the town! This lavish, colorful, over-the-top dining experience in the West Loop is truly what dinner and a show is all about.

We started with the Cotton Candy Cosmo, which somehow wasn’t overly sweet and was soooo good I ended up ordering two throughout the night. Brazilian Samba dancers also made several appearances during our dinner, adding even more energy to the already vibrant space.

For the table, we enjoyed the ceviche sampler and freshly made guacamole, followed by steak with chimichurri sauce and a vegan paella. Everything was packed with flavor, and the steak was definitely the table favorite. For dessert, we enjoyed a decadent chocolate cake and, of course, their signature cotton candy.

Carnivale would be such a fun spot for a girls’ night out or a date night if you’re looking to switch things up from your usual dinner and cocktails. ✨

Thank you to @carnivalechi for inviting us in and treating us to such a fun night out! We had the best time experiencing everything Carnivale has to offer. 🥂 by @samnoms_

Filipino brunch and cafe in Chicago 🇵🇭 @cebuchicago

Cebu is a family-owned spot bringing Filipino flavors to some of your favorite brunch classics.

Lumpia is always going to be a favorite of mine, and the ones here did NOT disappoint. We also tried the ube chicken & waffles, chicken adobo chilaquiles, mango banana French toast, and an iced ube tiramisu latte. So many fun takes on your favorite brunch dishes, with vibrant Filipino flavors woven throughout!

A must order is the Iced Latik Latte.. I’d come back for that and a few rounds of the Lumpia alone tbh. taken in Cebu Chicago by @samnoms_

@millibymetric is one of my favorite cafes and bakeries ☕️🥐 in Avondale, tucked right off the Kennedy Expy.

The space is super aesthetic and has become a popular spot for remote workers, but I’m mostly here for the bakery goods. Their Ham & Gouda Brioche Bun is SOOO good. Savory, buttery, cheesy, and one of the things I will order every time I come in.

They also have a wine selection if you’re there later in the day.. (I won’t judge you for a glass of wine before noon tho)

PLS add Milli by Metric to your coffee + breakfast rotation. taken in Avondale by @samnoms_
