Chicagoist: "Try the sauerkraut rye bread, their chocolate cake doughnuts, buttermilk poundcake and "grandpa rye" bread, a three-pound loaf swimming in caraway and perfectly suited for Dagwood sandwiches."
Chicagoist: "The crazy Baroque/Victorian/goth/whatever decor always suffices to keep a conversation going; the fact that it's a little bit off the beaten path lets you weed out those who never leave River North."
Jason: "Free concerts in the park. Lots of green space and art. I was really impressed with all this park had to offer and it was all free. I love Chicago."
Dana Jensen: "Good tap list in the "tasting room" and a truly outrageous selection of wine and beer. Spirits are weirdly organized, but employees are very helpful if you can't find anything"
Jessica Weiss: "Really cute coffee shop with lots of nerdy charm to it. Has lots of video game memorabilia and an old school vibe. Interesting coffee flavors too! Try the honeybear latte."
AFAR Media: "A primo sourcing grounds for picnic provisions or a casual cafe meal, Publican Quality Meats' sleek counter beckons with house-made salumi & sausages, as well as artisan cheeses & homemade breads."
Dmitry Witman: "Outstandin orchestra and director, off-course. Great jazz program as well, infrequent jazz concerts though. Yet if you are lucky with the time of your visit - they are really good."
Erik Rowley: "Beautiful architecture and concert hall. I saw movie master John Williams conduct here and it will be a memory I cherish forever. Dress up and bring a date, she'll love it."
Brian Strauss: "Stone crabs are a pricey delicacy that I enjoy a couple times a year. Get a steak and a martini with blue cheese olives to go with for the win."
Jules Takagishi: "Bar and grill is first con first served. As a couple of Japanese, it was perfect just ordering the sea food latter, artichokes, grilled tomatoes and clam chowder. Dessert was humongous and yummy!"
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: "Photographers! Check out this Documerica photo of Calumet Park in 1973. Take a photo of the area today, share it with our State of the Environment Photo Project, and help us document the changes."
Lena Duda: "The perfect skater's path. 17 miles of paved awesomeness with epic sights at every turn. Sure, a few rough spots (Mile 11-12 etc) and some crowding, but overall a fantastic workout. 9.99/10"
