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."
Caitlin White: "One of the best bars I've been to. One side has a cozy living room feel where you can TALK to people. Great house made cocktails and my boyfriend like their old fashioned. Free cookies at 12!"
Redeye Chicago: "Queen Mary has recently opened their outdoor patio seating. The bar’s classy cocktails are fit for spring with ingredients like passion fruit-ginger syrup, peach bitters and jalapeño tincture."
Chicago Tribune: "The shop aims its crosshairs at our retro-aesthetic pleasure center and hits the bullseye, with offerings like Bing Crosberry—custard mixed with raspberries, cherries, cheesecake and graham crackers."
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"
T Stark: "This is by far my fave museum of them all. The Impressionist gallery is magnificent and the Modern Art wing is very complete, packed with Picasso's, Klee's, Miró's and many more master pieces."
John Broccardo: "Miniature throne rooms are my favorite! A collection of interiors through the ages. It's a must see. Go right to the basement. It's under the grand staircase in the main entrance. First place I go!"
Chicagoist: "The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s home is one of the most acoustically perfect venues in town and sounds pitch-perfect across a range of musical styles."
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."
Aaron Cruz: "Right in the heart of the city. A must walk day or night. Lot's of greenery, great views of Lake Michigan and the city. Special events going on all the time. Buckingham Fountain sits within."
✞CONSTANTINE ✞: "Grant Park has the Buckingham Palace in the center as its focal point and a park that is used for the famous Lollapalooza. Buckingham Fountain is beyond gorgeous, especially at night..."
