  • Episode 111: Adventure Day

    We asked our listeners about their favorite places to visit in Chicago, and then we visited as many as we could in one day.

    We started our adventure with breakfast from Nhà Hàng Vietnam Restaurant on Argyle Street. We then proceeded to the nearby First Sip Cafe before moving on to our next destination — Wunders Cemetery. We next went to the Garfield Park Conservatory before finishing our day with dessert at Margies Candies. 

    The remaining suggestions from our listeners are can be found in the article for this episode right here. For those who are new to the city or seeking for new locations to explore, we hope this serves as a quick tour to some must-see Chicago attractions.
