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 :)
life is ever changing. sometimes we just need to stop, look around, and take in the moment. this is the once-lost picture diary of a bear finding himself through good food, drinks, and everyday simple joys.

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.
