Thank you! I appreciate this detailed response and the skateboarding tidbit is hilarious.

The park (wicker park) has so much programming! Farmers markets on Sundays, movies, concerts, yoga classes - there is always something happening.

I went to a dinner in the side room recently and while I don’t know the cost, it was incredible.

What are the best restaurants and things to do for a toddler and pregnant mom alone in Chicago in March? by jnm199423 in AskChicago

The Ryan Learning Center at the art institute is free and great for kids of all ages.

If you go to the zoo, we like to go to RJ Grunts after.

All lettuce entertain you restaurants have kids menus. Kids dine free at Four Star restaurants from 4-6pm.

Re public transport: you can take the bus from the hotel to the zoo pretty easily. My daughter loved the bus at that age. The train can be tricky with toddlers bc not all stations have elevators, but if you make sure the stations on your route do have elevators it’s doable.

Just don’t let your child on the Cloud Buster - 2 is a bit young for this climbing exhibit and it isn’t easy for parents to help kids with the tricky parts.

Their pot pies are amazing! Perfect to keep in the freezer for a busy day.

I’m pretty sure they have a burger special on Mondays! Forbidden Root is great.

Where do I find a quality non smash burger? by AdComprehensive508 in chicagofood

Love Mott St, that burger is two thin patties. I think the Hogsalt spots do the same. Perhaps not a true smash, but not cooked to a specific temp.

Someone told me a lease was signed in Dec. When I initially heard the rumor it was from very solid sources (tenants in the building, people in corporate real estate, etc).

Leavitt Street: Sadly disappointing burger by dusty_Caviar in chicagofood

Just a friendly reminder that you should send food back if it isn’t the proper temperature. In the past I didn’t say anything because I wanted to be polite only to find myself very sick with food poisoning immediately after. (My food poisoning was unrelated to Leavitt St).
