Finally tried the Tea for Two offer at Café Crèmerie!!😍 #sponsored
In case you haven’t been yet, @cafe.cremerie is the CUTEST café you can find in River North, serving up coffee drinks, cakes, pastries, gelato, and now afternoon tea!

Their afternoon tea for two offer includes:
- all 6 flavors of their macarons
- 2 cakes (we had their cheesecake and their tiramisù)
- 4 mignons aka super tiny pastries - or “pasticcini” as we call them in Italy. These are actually from @bindidessert_usa so I KNEW they’d be delicious😍
- 2 half sandwiches (we kept it simple and just split the salami sandwich)
- 2 savory pastries (we had ham+cheese and spinach+feta!)
And of course, the hot tea of your choice!🫖

This is the perfect girls date idea: grab your bestie and come have some tea and snacks!

Guys, THIS WEATHER‼️🤩☀️ Could this be the start of summer? It’s certainly the start of rooftop season!😍

I was #invited to check out @kennedyrooftop and tell me WHY I’ve passed this place a million times and never knew it existed!!🤯

Kennedy Rooftop is located at the top of the Hyatt Place in Wicker Park (on North and Ashland) and in my opinion it has one of the BEST views of Chicago! You can see the WHOLE downtown skyline while sipping on delicious drinks and savoring amazing food. Top notch service, immaculate vibes. Can’t wait to be back in the thick of summer!🤩

This is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Chicago landma

This is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Chicago landmarks! Like, it’s gotta be in my TOP 5‼️

I LOVE Union Station and love to take out of towners here when they come visit Chicago (sometimes they’re a little skeptical at first😅) to admire its architectural beauty!

I’m the first to admit that I’m that weirdo that likes trains and airplanes and means of transportation😅 so obviously I LOVE a nice station! But Union Station specifically has a special place in my heart! I love the gold, the statues, the fact that so many good movies have scenes filmed in here (think The Untouchables, The Sting, My Best Friend’s Wedding) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that Chicago is so central that the railroad system can take you pretty much anywhere from here!! East, South, West, you name it! Therefore, the daydreaming and people-watching in here is just incredible😂

Alright, I’m done with my little ode to a station😅 but definitely step inside the great hall inside of Union Station next town you take the Metra or you’re walking around downtown!

So, do we like this collage style carousel? 🤔🥰

I’m experimenting with new styles for pics and collages on here and it’s making me fall in love with content creation all over again! While I like creating video content, pictures are still my first love and what drew me to Instagram in the first place. So I love that carousels are making a comeback!

P.S.:
🧇 waffle is from The Waffle, top of Mountain Gondola
☕️ coffee is from The Round Hearth Café and Marketplace

I was recently #invited to see the Blue Man Group at Briar Street Theatre and I can’t recommend it enough! It was the perfect mix of music, theater, comedy, audience interaction and more. I honestly didn’t know what to expect other than that one drums+paint splatter skit, but there’s truly so much more to it! We even had a lil dance party👀

Highly recommend for all ages, tickets start at $49! #BlueManChi
