J. Parker
New rooftop opened up at the Hotel Lincoln the summer of 2012, overlooking the lake. Of course I had to check it out within the first few weeks of the opening :)
The view was AMAZING!!!! The day drink menu was different than their regular menu, so I wouldn't say the drinks are all that great. But just like the Terrace, it's worth to have a drink or two just for the view.
Well me and Marc went on a bit of a cloudy afternoon, and it ended up storming. We got about an hour outside, then continued our drinking inside. Would totally go back there this summer!!

Southport Grocery
July 21st 2012 - brunch at Southport Grocery and Cafe.
Got the bruschetta dish. It was good, but not sure if I would go back unless I was in the area. Probably makes my middle to bottom list...sorry buddy, you need to do more to impress me.

Terrace at the Trump
July 14th 2012 -
Saturday afternoon drinks at the Trump Hotel. One of my favorite rooftops! Such a gorgeous view of river north and the lake. I don't fancy the drinks too much, but its worth a drink for the view. But the sangria popsicles are delicious indeed :)

Mastro's
July 7th 2012 -
Last year I got Marc's brother a gift card to Mastro's but I never been there myself. They used my card earlier in the year and loved it. So this summer day his family and I decided to do a little shopping downtown and have dinner there. I had the petite filet. It was so delicious, but I think the place was hyped up just a bit for me. I would go back on a special occasion.

Joe's Wine Cellar
End of June / early July 2012 -
A friend and I went to a wine bar in Wicker Park / Ukrainian Village, where they have wine bottle dispensers haha! You buy a card and load it with any dollar value, and then you insert the card in the dispenser and choose your wine. It's a pretty neat concept and fun for people who is still learning about wine (like me haha).
I would go again if I was in the area. But I do have money leftover on the card, so I should go this coming summer lol.

Storefront Company
In early June 2012, I went to a relatively new place in Wicker Park with a friend for Saturday brunch.
This place is amazing!! It's tucked away so it's not insanely busy. Storefront makes my top three for brunch!

Bristol
Late May 2012 - After a fun happy hour on my co-worker's rooftop desk at your place, a few of us had some food at The Bristol. I had a glass of white wine (I think it was a Pinot blanco), and a seafood pasta that was pretty good. They are known for their Amish chicken, so if I go back I will have to try their chicken.
