Top 5 places in Chicago. Blog 16

There are five places that I like to go to often when I'm in Chicago.

1) The Metro. It is my favorite rock venue in Chicagoland. They have anything from local acts to mainstream popular artists that play there! It is in the Wrigleyville area, so it's convenient to grab food or drinks after concerts.

2) De Pasada. 1519 w. taylor street. They don't have a website, but they serve up some of the best tacos, burritos, and guac and chips... and it's close to UIC campus!

3) Millennium Park. This is a no-brainer. Who doesn't love just walking by and seeing the bean? In the summer or spring it is great to lay outside and read a book, or experiment with photography. It's a perfect spot to get a view of the loop, plus it's beautiful at night!

4) Bongo Room. 1152 S. Wabash. Okay, so I love breakfast food. This place is modern and serves up some mean potatoes and omelettes. It is usually packed on weekends, but the service is quick!

5) Reckless Records. Yes, independent record shops still exist! I love going into one of their three locations in Chicago and seeing what's up and coming, plus they sell used dvd's and cd's and have lots of free posters and stickers to give away to music lovers like me!
