I went to the West Loop in Chicago a few months ago to check out a restaurant while I was still really new to the area. The best part about me hiking out to a place that’s far away is I sort of have to tell myself it’s only right to go that far if I plan a day around it. I like to take a look at the map and start adding random stops. Once I’m there I stop at even more places on the way. If I see something I maybe want to look into, I walk in just because I can. Letting my whimsy flag fly.
