CHICAGO DEEP DISH PIZZA. This is the best spot! Better then Lou Malnatis and Girodonos, which tend tone very touristy, Pequots is where are the locals go for deep dish pizza. There is always a wait but it is worth it. You can get drinks next door at the bar Whales Tale while you wait. Please don't come to Chicago without eating at Pequods!

Great coffee and ambiance walking distance from the air bnb. Take the 606 trail behind us all the way there and enjoy views of the amazing mural on the side of the building while sitting in the grass.

Cool place for breakfast in the gorgeous Gold Coast area of Chicago. Definitely a local spot with some good people watching. My favorite thing to order is the lox and capers plate with a bagel.

Great place for adult frozen drinks and pickle back whisky shots- if you're into that sort of thing. The food is good here but they make an OUTSTANDING vegetable club sandwich and great hushpuppies- my personal favorites. Also a great place to sit on the patio and people watch.

I love the boiler room for drinks and pizza. They have a special called the "PB&J" which is a slice of pizza, past blue ribbon and a hot of jameson for around $8. They're pizza is very good and they also have Jameson spiked soft serve ice cream.

Chicago is known for its jaxx and Blues music scene. This is a very secret spot of the locals. Outstanding music and BYOF (bring your own food.) Less then a mile walking distance from the air bob and plenty of places to stop for food/drinks on the way- Parsons, Dos and Scofflaw to name a few.

Parks & Nature

The 606 trail is located diretly behind the air bob on blooming dale ave. There are access ramps on rockwell/bloomingdale and california/bloomingdale. This trail offers a relaxing way to get back and forth on the west side of the city. there is amazing street art at every access point along the entire length of the trail. Rent a diva bicycle by 90 miles cuban cafe then hop on the trail and go for a ride!

Everything Else

I love the wicker park neighborhood. It's easily accessible from the airbnb by bike or foot down the 606 trail. A great place for walking around, people watching, breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. You could spend and entire day here. If you're into vintage shipping my favorite store is Rag Stock. Around rag stock are a lot of other vintage and cosignment shops.
