Daphne was home from college for the weekend, so we went to try the new pizza collab at @pauliegeeswickerpark and @hattiebs

I’m vegetarian, so I went with the cheese pizza while Daphne took on the 20-inch New York-style pie topped with Hattie B’s hot chicken bites, double-smoked bacon, Southern greens, sweet corn and black-eyed pea succotash on HattieQ sauce. They brush the crust with hot oil right before it comes out of the oven.

It’s $5 a slice or $37 for the whole pie, and part of every sale goes to @nokidhungrychi

You can get it at Paulie Gee’s in Wicker Park through October 31. Hattie B’s opens its second Chicago location on Damen October 28.

I love having my kids home, and I’ll take any excuse to get out and do something together.

Follow me for Chicago restaurants, local finds and more of what life looks like at 56.

A perfect fall night, Chicago style. 🍂🔥🥃 We had it all last night with firepits, fondue and whiskey with skyline views.

I hosted a little sneak peek of Camp Lux at The Gwen, where the rooftop has transformed into a cozy fireside retreat with High West Whiskey. Bookable on OpenTable—get your res in for VIP firepits hangs with gooey Gruyere and s’mores fondue, camp-inspired bites and whiskey cocktails under the stars.

The fun continues through March, with rooftop curling returning late November! Who says rooftop season has to end when the temperatures drop? 🏙️✨
