Around Chicago: Brunch at Machine

March 18, 2020 No Comments

There’s nothing like the boredom of social distancing to make you want to start flipping through old photos on your phone, and the latest rabbit-hole of image browsing made me realize I have a LOT of brunch pics!

I’ve been craving brunch so much since being homebound. And since I’ve enjoyed quite a few fantastic brunch spots since I’ve moved to Chicago, I decided to share some of my favorites with you in the coming weeks, starting with Machine: Engineered Dining & Drink in Wicker Park.

Around Indy: Wild Eggs

January 6, 2019 No Comments

Wild Eggs has been my go-to brunch stop for years and I can’t believe I haven’t written a post about it already! At first glance, it looks a standard diner, complete with melamine tables and pastel-colored barstools, but you’ll find much more than standard diner fare on the menu here.

December 1, 2018 No Comments

Meridian has been one of those popular Indy restaurants that I’ve known about for a long time but hadn’t visited until my birthday this year. Located at the intersection of Meridian & Westfield Boulevard in a large mansion-type of space with a log cabin feel on the inside, Meridian Restaurant & Bar is a cozy spot for enjoying a nicer-than-average meal with family and friends.
