Bears Who? Bacon and Beer Classic Takes Over Soldier Field
It’s hard to find happiness in Soldier Field with the way the Chicago Bears are playing, but it all changes this weekend at the Bacon and Beer Classic.
My favorite new spot in River North is Arbella. This cocktail lounge has a great atmosphere and their cocktails utilize ingredients from all over the world so there’s something for every taste. My favorite drink is the Sierra Madre made with Pasilla Mezcal, Antica Formula, chocolate bitters, and dried ancho chiles as it takes me back home to Oaxaca.
Enjoy the latest from the greatest at Rick Bayless’s Leña Brava. This hip West Loop spot boasts an extensive list of mezcal cocktails, well-executed ceviche and tablas, and the not-to-be-missed Leña “Banana” Split.
Absolutely Chicago Segway Tours is my favorite way to see the city. They have a variety of tours which makes coming back a must. If you have trouble deciding which to take first, I would start with the Lakefront Tour. You’ll be surprised how much fun you are having while learning about Chicago’s architecture, parks, and statues. Their guides are extremely knowledgeable, fun, and always put safety as a priority.
