Wanderers: We Walk Around


Who says you can't have ice cream before dinner?! Spoiler alert: it really does ruin your appetite... However, knowing this didn't stop Kayla and I from enjoying a little ice cream treat from Annette's off Armitage. We were both entranced with the "cookie jar" flavor: chocolate ice cream, caramel swirl, with bits of m&m oatmeal cookie dough. Yes, it was as good as it sounds. 

Beforehand, we spent the morning at Nookies Too nomming on some tasty egg dishes. We decided to just just wander around Lincoln Park and go into various shops.




After filling up on ice cream, we obviously had to get some dinner. Kayla had been wanting to try this authentic Mexican restaurant off the Belmont stop, so try we did. This summer has been filled with many mexican meals, all of which have been delicious, and Mi Tierra was no exception. Also, the interior decorations were very amusing, look at those colors!






Check out Kayla blending in with her surroundings!

BreakFEST



Last weekend was another eventful one in Chicago. On Saturday Kayla and I made the familiar trek to Wicker Park for their annual summer festival. We enjoyed some music, free food, and our favorite activity: dog watching. It was unseasonably cold, so that was a bummer, but overall it was a nice time.

I ate at Santullo's Eatery. It's a New York style pizza place. My pizza had feta cheese and roasted red peppers, it was also named "The Hipster" so it was basically me in pizza form.






On Sunday morning we decided to be totally stereotypical and go to brunch. Who doesn't love brunch?!







While we originally set out for a breakfast place called Orange, we stumbled upon Kitsch'n and decided to go there instead. We both had tasty pesto omelets! Let me tell you, they were fantastic. Also, look at how cute this place is! Luckily, it was nice enough for us to enjoy our breakfast outside. Afterwards we went to a thrift store and bought some mom jeans that we later transformed into distressed shorts.
