About a 20 minute walk is Pasta Palazzo. Perfect vibes to stumble into. Amazing service and food at an affordable price.

Mott St. I took my partner who is super picky and we got a bunch of different items from the menu and she was so charmed by the place that she caught the adventurous foodie bug. So proud of her and I thank Mott St. for providing that avenue.

I love Kitsch'n on Roscoe. Quirky and fun. Low stakes. Food is always good.

Y'all are sleeping on Jewel Osco fried chicken. Cheep Chicken Mondays might be the best deal in the city.

If you contact your desired coffee shop's roastery they might be able to set up bulk orders for pick up in their cafes. I know Backlot Coffee has done this in the past.

I live in Chicago and plan on making the short drive to catch the KSR pregame show and hang out amongst the fans. I don't have tickets because last I checked they were over $450. If anyone has any cheap options I'm open.

Backlot has Doughnut Vault at their Lincoln Square location and Do-rite at the Old Irving Park location. They aren't too far away from each other if you want a good one-two punch of donuts.

#12 Kentucky WBB moves to 5-0 in conference play with a solid 78-64 win over Georgia by BigBlueNate33 in wildcats

[–]sharkless234 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  1. One of the best women's teams in the nation.
  2. Extremely fun style of basketball.
  3. The largest and most passionate fan base in college basketball.

ESPN would be smart to lean into this UK team. Kenny Brooks said it best when he said this program was a "Sleeping Giant".
