Sashimi rollin’, they hatin’. 🤭 We just checked out @sushihallchicago in Lincoln Park, and I must say, we are completely smitten. We sat at the 4-person chef’s counter, where we got to chat with Head Sushi Chef Mitch Kim. He described the care he takes in selecting and sourcing fresh, high-quality fish for the restaurant, and he also shared stories about his 17 years at Toro Sushi. It was such a special conversation! It’s no wonder, last year, Chicago Reader named Sushi Hall a top-three Chicago sushi spot. 🤩 The thought and effort that goes into every dish is remarkable!
During our visit, we ordered the following:
🍚 Mr. Kim’s Crispy Rice
🍣 Sashimi Platter
🍤 The 22 Signature Roll
🐙 Spicy Tako Signature Roll
🐟 The In & Out Hand Roll
🦀 Spider Hand Roll
🍜 Garlic Udon Noodles
Everything was delicious! The fish in all of the dishes was so fresh and flavorful. My favorites were the Crispy Rice, The 22 and The In & Out. 👏🏻 All incredible bites, especially The 22, which comes with tempura shrimp and spicy tuna that is topped with crab, torched salmon, spicy mayo and unagi sauce. So so good!
We also tried a couple cocktails during our visit, including the Early & Often and the Ward Boss. Both were tasty! We, of course, had to get some sake, as well, and went with the Tozai Snow Maiden. 🍶 I really loved the creaminess of the sake paired with our savory bites. I’ve been really into the more cloudy sakes lately!
We had a great experience here, and I highly recommend for your next sushi outing. Be sure to say hi to Chef Mitch while you’re there! 🥰 He is such a personable and friendly guy and just an expert in his craft. It’s no wonder the same customers have been returning to dine with him for decades!
Following your meal, head to the back to grab a night cap in their little hidden speakeasy, The Ward Room. Kanpai! 🥃

What a wndrful world. 🤩 @wndrmuseum, located in the West Loop, is Chicago’s original interactive playground of multi-sensory art and technology installations. This immersive experience takes about an hour to complete and is filled with fun lights, sounds and games, meant to spark your curiosity and unlock your inner child! I’ve visited several times and appreciate that the Museum is ever-evolving. Many of the more popular installations have stuck around, yet there is always something new to keep things interesting!
We recently stopped by, particularly to check out their newly unveiled installation, “Love is Calling,” created by renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. It’s part of her Infinity Room Series and is WNDR’s largest infinity room to date. 🌈 Imagine stepping into a dark, mirrored space, where you are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling polka-dotted inflatables illuminated in all colors of the rainbow. It’s super captivating and trippy!
During our visit, I was also excited to see they had upgraded their shop to include a lounge that serves bevvies and snacks, including their brand new WNDR Bar. Here, you get to build your very own sweet treat with ice cream bars from Chicago’s Pretty Cool Ice Cream. 😋 We built a chocolate bar topped with cookie crumbles, candied sunflower seeds and toasted coconut, then drizzled with roasted sweet corn white chocolate. It was so good!
If you’ve never been (or haven’t been in awhile), I think WNDR is worth a stop on your Chicago itinerary. Get your tickets at link in WNDR’s bio. General admission starts at $32. Enjoy! 👋🏻

Mangia! 🍝🤌🏻🍷 We just checked out @pastaveneta, located in Chicago’s Fulton Market. They’re the newest sister restaurant to @osteriadelpastaio, and they’re serving authentic Italian cuisine, including homemade pasta, freshly baked bread and artisanal dessert. The interior space is charming, with big windows that let the sunlight pour in, and they have a spacious outdoor patio, lined with pretty, colorful flowers. It’s super cute and the perfect destination for a date night with that special someone.
During our visit, we ordered several menu items, including the following:
Bread Service and Tapenade of the Day ✨
Avocado & Asparagus Salad in Truffle Vinaigrette ✨
Roasted Meatballs
Frutti Di Mare ✨
Gnocchi with Braised Beef Short Rib
Profiteroles ✨
Everything was great, but I put a little sparkle next to our favorites. We really enjoyed the soft, delicious Bread, which we proceeded to dunk in pretty much everything! The Salad was super fresh and we can never get enough truffle. 🍤🫶🏻🦞 The Frutti Di Mare came loaded with succulent pan-seared shrimp, scallop and lobster atop black and white spaghetti tossed in a slightly spicy red sauce. So yummy! Finally, the Profiteroles were presented beautifully and were delightful.
We also got a couple Dirty Martinis during our visit and each enjoyed a glass of Pinot Noir. Both paired perfectly with our Italian feast. This was truly a special little evening. I can’t wait to spend more time on their sunny patio this summer and explore more of their lovely wine list! 💐☀️😎

@beyondwlandchicago was a trip! We had an amazing time listening to incredible artists, basking in the beautiful weather, enjoying delicious fest food and beverages and people watching. Ohhh, the people watching. This was THE most extravagant fest-wear I have ever seen! The best part of the weekend, though, was getting to experience @tiesto backstage. One word…epic.

Will ube mine? 🤩💜✨ Let’s all stop and take a moment for Sunda’s uniquely delicious Ube Espresso Martini. Made with 1800 Reposado, Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur and Ube Milk, it’s a delectable little treat. Isn’t she stunning?
Swing by the newest @sundanewasian location in Chicago’s Fulton Market this weekend and try it out!

TACOS THRU HERE. 👉🏻🔥🌮😮💨 We just checked out the new speakeasy-style taqueria in Downtown Austin, @taqueria10de10. Access to these tasty tacos is through the @getreyrey bar located in an alley off of Trinity St.
They have some fire Adobado (Pastor)! The crispy, thin shavings from the trompo were so incredibly delicious. We got the Pastor as a traditional Taco, but also as a Volcán. The Taco was amazing, but the Volcán was next level! 🍖🌋🍍 Volcánes are crispy corn tortillas that are filled with savory meat and melty cheese. Insanely good!
For other options, we tried the Carne Asada and the Pollo Asado. They were both really tender and flavorful as well. The tacos at this spot are definitely near the top of my Austin faves list. You MUST stop by! They’re open late, until 2am, on Friday and Saturday. Grab a marg at ReyRey while you’re there. 🙌🏻🍹❤️

Missing Chicago today. No one does St. Patrick’s quite like this City. I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend filled with an abundance of green beer, corned beef sandwiches and Irish folk music. 💚🌈🍻🇮🇪🍀🎻
Enjoy this little snippet of the Chicago River dyeing—my favorite St. Patty’s tradition!

Everything’s bigger in Texas. 🍗🫶🏻🧇
📸: sweet and savory Buttermilk Fried Chicken + Waffles courtesy of @colleensaustin. Their chicken is well-seasoned and lightly crispy on the outside, with a tender and juicy center. It’s perfectly complemented by the soft, fluffy, maple syrup-soaked waffle. Really tasty dish, especially with a dash or two of hot sauce! 👏🏻🤤🤠
