久しぶりだな。 Love Chicago 🤙🏾

2025/2/22 Edited to

The city of Chicago is renowned for its rich history and lively atmosphere. You can't talk about Chicago without mentioning its famous deep-dish pizza, a delightful treat that every visitor must try. Alongside culinary highlights, explore the stunning architecture, such as the Skydeck in the Sears Tower, offering breathtaking views of the skyline. Don't miss out on Millennium Park, home to the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture, also known as 'The Bean,' which reflects the vibrant activity of the city. For a touch of green, the Chicago River is dyed bright green every St. Patrick's Day, a sight that attracts visitors from around the globe. This tradition, combined with events like the Great Chicago Fire Festival, showcases the city's unique blend of culture and community. Whether you're visiting the Haymarket Hotel or taking a stroll down the riverwalk, Chicago has something for everyone, making it a city worth exploring.

One of the most photogenic cafes in town @cafelaforet has new menu items! I’d been eyeing their Smash Burger and it did not disappoint. Since the price difference isn’t much, I recommend going for the double. Their Fruit Sando comes in two flavors, strawberry and mango, and the cream is amazing!
