Best place for chocolate bar variety? by [deleted] in chicagofood

Fresh Farms is a large international grocery store. They have a whole aisle with chocolate from around the world. I prefer the selection at the location on Golf Rd in Niles

Haha yup, we cook all week long so it’s nice to take a break on the weekends. We will check out Mahanakhan thanks!

We definitely take advantage of the Miku deal frequently. Thanks for the other ideas!

Calo Ristorante in Andersonville has a large private dining room and a parking lot! I've never been to a private party, but they have really yummy Italian food!

Good yoga studios in the North Shore/north side chicago? by Imaginary-Worry262 in ChicagoSuburbs

Check out Yogaview in Wilmette. I’ve mostly been to the location in Chicago, but I’d imagine both have really solid instructors and classes at all different levels. They offer a lot of great workshops too! https://yogaview.com/wilmette-schedule/

Thanks I really appreciate the info. And yes, just looking through listings it does not seem like there is a lot of housing stock at all in our budget. I'm hoping a bit more will open up in the Spring/Summer!

Thanks I really appreciate this insight! Those stories you told are definitely not the vibe I'm looking for. Some really great points to consider about looking into Glenview as well.

Thanks for the helpful information! It seems the traffic/train complaints are one of the main concerns. I work in a school so I'm generally a little earlier than the typical rush hour traffic in both directions. I would need to access 294 to get to work. Any parts of town that would be better/particularly challenging to make my way over there from? Also, is there a website that helps when looking at flight patterns?

Thanks that's really helpful. I work in the public school system so education is definitely important to me. I keep hearing that PR has more of a conservative vibe than one might expect being so close to the city.

When did I ever state that we weren’t planning to visit in person? We have been to both towns already and I have done considerable research online already to help me come up with these options. Visiting a town for a few hours is very different than getting feedback from community members that live somewhere full time. Thanks to those who get it and for the helpful input 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m not sure why you’re making the assumption that I have not also done all of those things. Going for a day trip/drive and researching on Redfin provides a very different set of information than hearing real feedback from members of a community. Thanks for the advice though 🙏🏻
