The Winchester
One of my favorite girls is in town this weekend for a conference so we brunched at The Winchester this morning. I've seen this place posted a thousand times on Instagram so we decided to check it out. Not sure if it was our server or what, but I wasn't as thrilled with it as I thought I'd be. Don't get me wrong, the food was good, but I was expecting the avo toast to knock my socks off. And it did not. Don't let this post discourage you from trying it – we all like to live by the motto don't knock it till ya try it right? But it is in the East Village (Ukranian Village), which isn't exactly the most conveniant spot to get to!
Avo toast with grapefruit + chili
Regan opted for the waffle which came with bananas and walnuts
And I had the biscuits & gravy with breakfast sausage + one gorgeous fried egg on top!
Obviously a lovely catch up with Regan, as always, and a great space flooded with natural light, but just reporting honestly about the food – wasn't extremely thrilled!! Anyone agree? Disagree? I probably won't be racing back out for brunch anytime soon, but would love to try their BLT or dinner options.

Quite Frankly
Quite Frankly, it's been way too long since I've taken (or even had) the time to sit down, edit some pics, and write a post. By a long time I mean since January! Dang! But all apologies. This spring semester is flying by and so is March. I was in Cancun for spring break, then my mom came to town, St. Patty's weekend happened, and now we've got friends in this weekend to celebrate Kelsey's birthday. SO it's been hectic, crazy, busy and March is somehow almost over already! BUT rest assured, I will be getting back into a routine this week and have some posts lined up, so get readyyyyy for that. In the mean time, here are six snaps I took around the city in the past week or so.

Ming Hin Dim Sum
On Friday Kelsey, Alanna, and I headed to Chinatown for lunch since we were craving some Dim Sum. Kelsey had done a little research and heard about Ming Hin so we decided since we only knew about a few things on the menu, to just order away and keep it coming.
Siu Mai (Pork & Shrimp Dumpling) and regular shrimp dumplings.
Chicken Feet with special sauce...not my favorite, but I always am willing to try something at least once.
deep fried crab egg rolls with seaweed
BBQ Pork buns
And these muffins from heaven... we asked our waiter what his favorite item on the menu was and he said these sweet baked egg yolk balls. Sounds odd, but they were crunchy & amazing.
Beef Brisket & Rice Noodle Soup
Deep Fried Sesame Balls (even though they came as doughy sheets)
Bellies stuffed, we walked around Chinatown in search for a new pet for Alanna. That mission was completely unsucessful... but a great day exploring a new part of Chicago none of us had ever been to!
