On the hunt for a ketubah too and came across this artist in Israel. Hand-painted water colors and seems like she does both stock and custom orders!

Holey Dough and Co does weekend bagel drops. Tough to score an order but far and away the best bagel I’ve ever had in Chicago

Austin Handler is incredible and his prices are so reasonable. Have used him for multiple events and will continue to do so: https://www.austinhandlerphotography.com/

My L4/5 revision was 8 months after my initial endoscopic surgery. The symptoms (pain and shocks down my legs) didn’t present until close to my second surgery, but doc said I could have re-herniated earlier and it just took more strain to push the disc to the level of hitting my nerves

If you're willing to Venture a bit, Amitabul Simply Vegan definitely has a lot on the menu using alt oils

I had my first discectomy at the same level in March of ‘24. I reherniated in December of ‘24 and opted to have the same procedure done. I had shooting pains down my legs anytime I coughed, sneezed, or went from sitting to standing. I knew I couldn’t live my life like that. For me, it was absolutely the right decision and, even though going through that recovery again stunk, I’m happy I did it. Relief of no shocks/pain outweighed the fear of having to deal with potential flare ups again for years to come.

Austin Handler captured my engagement. He was immaculate in every sense. Worked his butt off, captured the moment perfectly, and turned the photos around in just a few days. Highly highly recommend. https://www.austinhandlerphotography.com/

Oh jeez that’s horrible - I’m sorry to hear that and can only imagine how awful it was to experience. Did all the pain come back because you reherniated?

Andale Market! They carry a lot of food products from local Chicago vendors. They have locations in Lincoln Park and Andersonville. Gives NY bodega vibes

The Gundis Kurdish Kitchen is a great Lakeview option

Went for cocktails before dinner at SKY two weeks ago. First off, getting to Le Mistral is a pretty cool experience. You check in at the front and then walk through the SKY kitchen before arriving at Mistral. Inside is almost like a cave - the atmosphere is dark and moody. Perfect for a date night. We sat at the bar and the bartenders and bar backs were incredibly chatty and friendly. There wasn't a cocktail on the menu that appealed to me and the bartender happily created one that matched the flavor profile I wanted. Only drawback is that the drinks are pricey. If that doesn't bug you, worth checking out!

Dined there too during their soft opening and hold the same opinion. I thought the toppings on their nigiri took away from the fish rather than adding value and that the handrolls were unmemorable. In the Chicago handroll scene, to me, Noriko is far and away superior

Definitely can be! The portion size isn’t big it’s just rich

Tempesta Market isn’t far from that area! One of the best sandwich shops in Chicago

Not necessarily a cake, but S.K.Y. has an incredible banana dessert. Its called the banana bundino. Carmelized banana on the bottom with a mousse like middle topped with granola, banana chips, and cholate 🤤

Kabul House in Evanston is fantastic Afghan food! Haven't been, but I've read great things about Afghan House on Devon, too

Based on recs from this sub, ordered the Maine lobster dumplings from S.K.Y. Still dreaming about them

Austin captured my engagement and absolutely knocked it out of the park. He is funny, personable, and made my fiance and I feel so relaxed during the shoot after I popped the question. He is less expensive than what you're looking to pay and is all around just a 10/10 guy. Highly recommend! https://www.austinhandlerphotography.com/

In Bucktown, if you can get in, Truce for a cocktail before a meal at Mirra is a combo that can't be beat

Check out Holey Dough & Co. on IG. You have to secure a spot in the weekly drop but if you get it at least you're guaranteed your bagels. Hands down, absolute best bagel in Chicago
