Best way to get to/from downtown Chi... quick tap of the Ventra card and you're on your way -- convenient location near T2, easy transfer/walk to other terminals too!!!
Quite busy, high-end sushi joint... strong cocktails and very flavorful fish dishes -- variety of Asian apps, salads, sushi rolls, sides, and more!!! Slow-ish service, but all were friendly
Really beautiful, large fountain in the center of the parks district... right along the waterfront, too!!!
Nice luxury apartment building - plenty of building amenities and updated apartments... beware, there are two separate sets of elevators for different sides of the building!!
There was live music... and you could hear it many blocks away!!! Love the open-air style amphitheatre and grassy area for extra seating!
The stadium tour really is the best experience for any baseball fan... but surprised how claustrophobic this feels and there are more benches behind/below the field-level seats and railing!!!
As part of the $25 stadium tour, it was really cool and fun to walk around/explore the non-public spaces... the press box is very steep with narrow rows and a nice birds-eye view of the whole field
Classic ballpark... always an amazing experience when visiting!!! Great atmosphere inside + around of the stadium
This place was so much fun... bars are both inside and outside + live music stage in the middle, plus a patio to hang out and get fresh air!!!
Classic dive bar with outdoor patio, darts, and an old-school jukebox!!! Supposedly, this is the oldest/longest-running bar in the Hamptons(?)!!
Hostess is very rude/snotty... but inside staff and food and drinks and the view were all incredible!!! Le Grand Plateau seafood app was perfect size for 5 adults + listen for the daily specials!
We chartered one of the beautiful boats here... convenient from Sag Harbor + the marina didn't seem to have any amenities (bathrooms, kitchen, food or vending machines, etc) on land though
Got it twice in one day, one as take-out and one sit-down - both times were sooooooo tasty!!! The fried calamari is perfectly crispy, pizzas are dripping with toppings, and the staff is super friendly
Cute island with lots of residential houses and waterfront space... accessible via the Casco Bay mail-boat ferry!!! There's a convenient, but small grocery store and grill right by the ferry dock
Great flavors of hard ice cream, plus unique soft-serve choices... love the Maine Tracks and/or Dino Crunch!!! Even with smallest size (bunt), you can get two flavors in one cup/cone
Small museum of Jewish history in Maine, specifically about summer camps and generic info about Judaism... plus there is some beautiful artwork in the sanctuary and rooms throughout the place!!
Amazing lounge/cafe with craft beers and cocktails, plus to-die-for mac n cheese plates!!!! All the cheese is made upstairs in their "factory" and ya can not go wrong with any cheese option
It is super cool with wondeful coffee aroma + freshly baked goods... cold brew was strong and flavor coffee was super flavorful and tasty!!!! When in town, Hoda Kotb gets her coffee here
Surprisingly updated and modern beachfront hotel with basic amenities, furnished balcony, fast wifi, and comfy queen beds!!! Pretty strict with check-in/out times but overall, it was a wonderful stay
Pretty sure this is a small section of the Harlem River Pathway... which is super nice and peaceful on the north/west portion of Wards Island -- lots of fields and activity everywhere else!!!
Nice park with plenty of benches and water views... but not spacious at all -- at points, the FDR causes this path to be narrow + uncomfortable for both cyclists and walkers!!
These nachos were so great (toppings were filled on every chip) + tacos tasted homemade and so juicy + traditional margarita and sangria were flavorful... overall very good value for the money!!!
This place was packed on a random Tuesday night and I could tell why... the Mediterranean food was so amazing - every app and mezze/dip were yuuuum, but the perfectly seasoned meat had small portions!
Surprisingly delicious and tasty dinner meal... but quite overpriced and odd combination of cuisines, as all hotel restaurants! Steak was cooked and fries were crisped perfectly + dessert was amazing
Surprisingly delicious.... chicken taco was probably best item (we tried all the tacos and quesadilla) + drink options are great and nice selection of craft beers from the other vendor in the area!!!
