That Little Mexican Cafe - A Little Cafe With Big Flavor

K.Lloyd — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:19:53 -0600

In the shadows of the Northwestern University campus in Evanston lies a restaurant called That Little Mexican Café. My husband and I stumbled upon this local spot while driving around looking for a place for dinner. When we walked in, the atmosphere just took us away. We sat down at the bar for a drink and waited anxiously for our table. The margaritas are delicious and seemed to be the choice of most patrons. It is a busy restaurant but the turnover is pretty quick.

Once we were seated, we ordered the homemade guacamole. The guacamole is “smashed” right at the table. This was the coolest part of our night. They came to our table and let us pick from six different ingredients and you tell them how much you want of it put into your guacamole. We choose extra garlic. They also had cilantro has an ingredient. Once you make your choices, they prepare it fresh right in front of you. This guacamole was the most delicious kind I have ever tasted in my life. Served with warm chips you really can’t go wrong.

Our meals were fresh, delicious and so tasty. I had the Steak Tacos and my husband got the Steak Fajitas. They were so much better than your average Mexican Restaurant. This place is something special. They put a spin on Mexican and out turns a delicious café of food one can’t resist. They are located at 1010 Church Street and they do take reservations.

Hamburger Hot Spot at Jury’s Food and Drink

K.Lloyd — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:38:49 -0600

We all love a great hamburger. One of my favorite spots is Jury’s Food and Drink in Chicago. When I first moved to Chicago I lived in the Ravenswood neighborhood with my sister. One night we decided to try Jury’s and I have been hooked ever since. They have been noted as having the 10 best hamburgers in the world listed in National Geographic Passport to the best “The 10 Best of Everything”. Other local magazines have rated it high as well. I highly encourage one to go to Jury’s if in the area.

When walking in to Jury’s you will notice the crisp, white table cloths and beautiful place settings. Believe me; this place is very casual, comfortable and friendly. Ok, on to the great food. My husband loves the chili appetizer, spicy and thick. Their salads are fresh and filling. And they offer steaks, sandwiches, pastas and really great hamburgers. They have outdoor seating as well for those warm Chicago nights. Jury’s is located at 4337 N. Lincoln Ave. in Chicago. Visit their website at www.jurysrestaurant.com for more information.

Octoberfest Traditions at Mirabell

K.Lloyd — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 15:22:31 -0600

Autumn is here and that means its time for Oktoberfest. The German Oktoberfest is the tradition of beer, music and German cuisine. One of my favorite restaurants to visit is Chef Werner’s Mirabell located in the Irving Park / Avondale area. They are celebrating their 31st Ocktoberfest on October 17th and 18th with the Phenix Band and The Perlen Band. They are offering a special Oktoberfest menu and Oktoberfest beers, dinner and dancing.

When I walk in to this establishment I feel like family and I know everyone feels the same way. Upon opening the door, you are greeted by a lively bar, friendly faces and lots of good German beer to choose from. The usual bartender, Jeff Heil, is always happy to recommend a great German beer on tap. And located in the bar is music on the juke box which always ends up being played late into the night. Don’t forget about dinner which can be eaten in one of three dining rooms. They serve German American and Vegetarian food that is traditional German and very delicious. I love the Original Wiener Schnitzel which is breaded and pan fried served with Spatzle. They also offer sauerbraten, bratwurst, sandwiches, soups and much more.

Oktoberfest is the time to go and be a part of German tradition no matter what your background happens to be. Tables are moved together so you can sit in rows. Everyone orders giant beers, enjoys live music, sings and has a great time. They do recommend making reservations for these special Oktoberfest nights. What more could you ask for in this great city but a fun time for all ages. The Mirabell is open every day but Sunday. It is located at 3454 West Addison Street in Chicago, just east of the Edens expressway. An easy commute for city dwellers and suburbanites and parking is right across the street.

Visit their website at www.mirabellrestaurant.com for more information.

Glorious Chicago Botanic Gardens

K.Lloyd — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:22:29 -0600

Chicago and the entire North Shore have so much to offer. One of my favorite spots this time of year is the Chicago Botanic Garden. Located in Glencoe, it is a quick drive up the Edens Expressway off Lake Cook Road. It is a 385-acre garden, surrounded by lakes, located on nine islands. They have 23 gardens and three native habitats. If you love flowers, plants and learning about gardening, this is the place to visit. There is something for everyone here, no matter how old you are. Sometimes I just go and take a long walk with my children. Other times I bring family or friends from out of town to visit and see all the beautiful gardens, fountains, bridges and enjoy a day in the sun.

One of my favorite spots is the Model Railroad Garden: Landmarks of America. There is a small entrance fee, but it is worth it. The exhibit is only offered May thru October so check their website to make sure its running. This outdoor exhibit takes you from New York to California with model trains representing America’s landmarks. Of course, there is a miniature Wrigley Field. The trains are continually running and a delight for the little ones. It’s an adventure to follow the trains around the bridges and tunnels and see how they travel. Everything is intricately handcrafted with all natural resources.

After all the exploring and sightseeing, be sure to eat lunch at the Garden Café. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches, soups and desserts and have indoor and outdoor seating. They support locally grown products. They also have free wireless access so bring your computer and hang out for the day.

Chicago Botanic Garden also offers classes, camps, plant shows, gardening help, library and gift shop. Admission to the Garden is free to the public and parking is a nominal fee. For more information, visit www.chicagobotanic.org or call 847.835.5440.

A Trip to the Farm

K.Lloyd — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:57:32 -0600

If you live anywhere near the north side of Chicago you must visit the historical Wagner Farm in Glenview. In the middle of houses and a mile or two from the local forest preserve sits an 18.6 acre farm owned and operated by the Glenview Park District. It is open to the public daily for free. There are horses, cows, pigs, chickens and ducks to see. The kids will love the close up view of these animals. My kids love to adventure to the farm for a visit. Sometimes we go just to get that open feel of the country.

In addition to the outside farm animals to visit there is a small museum inside to explore. The kids can milk a replica cow, gather eggs, sweep hay and lift it up. There is a replica store from the 1920’s to see and a car from that era too. Surrounding the perimeter of the museum are interactive games that let your child see why corn might not grow or information on apples. There is also a store to get souvenirs of your trip to Wagner Farm.

My favorite time to visit Wagner Farm is September or October. It is a time to enjoy the crisp air, walk across the fields and see the leaves all full of color and be outside before it’s too cold. We pick out our annual Halloween pumpkin from the many rows for sale. It is the perfect place for Autumn pictures among all the pumpkins.
Wagner Farm also has tours for groups and they have a farm story time at 4pm each Thursday (call to confirm). They are located at 1510 Wagner Road in Glenview.

Unique Gifts and Clothes for Babies

K.Lloyd — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:55:55 -0600

I just recently stumbled upon this store called Babydreams while walking with my kids in Chicago. They saw all the huge Sesame Street characters in the window so I said we would go and have a look. This is the cutest baby store in the area. I was excited to check out all the merchandise. Immediately we were drawn to a huge teddy bear where I took many pictures of my kids. The person working in the store says everyone comes in and their kids go crazy for this huge bear.

After looking some more, my kids saw a large train set for playing. This kept them busy for a while so I could look around. Their best items by far are the clothes. They only go up to 24 months so beware it’s a baby and toddler store only. They have knit sweaters, tye dye, characters from television shows and hand sewn sparkly designs that spark the interest of what the child is interested.

They also have hand painted furniture, shoes, baby shower gifts, toys, burp cloths that have that homemade special touch with beautiful fabric sewn on. The prices are high, but quality shows. They strive for personal attention, private shopping and schedule appointments. If I was to have another child I would be excited to get a gift from this shop. They have two locations. One is at 1858 N. Damen in Bucktown in Chicago. The second location is at 448 Central in Highland Park. Go check out what cool items this store has to offer.

All Kinds of Music at your Fingertips

K.Lloyd — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:51:59 -0600

Before music was digitized online and mega stores decided to only sell “mainstream” artists, there used to be a record store in every part of every city and town. One block west of Chicago in the Village of Norridge sits a unique music store that caters to all kinds of tastes. From rare bootlegs to the latest Carrie Underwood CD, Rolling Stone has just about everything.

The music selection at Rolling Stone Records is enormous to say the least. Most of the titles are on CD but there is also a section dedicated to dinosaurs like myself who still own a cassette tape deck. Movies and Live Concerts are available on DVD and VHS. The great thing about this music store is that their selections aren’t homogenized like the big chain stores. I can still remember walking into the Rolling Stone in 1990 and buying my first Black Crowes CD. It was new and hip and absolutely amazing. For those on a budget, the “back wall” is loaded with tons of wonderful deals starting at 5.99 a CD. If you look hard enough you will always find a gem or two.

With iMusic being all the rage these days, it’s still nice to peruse the aisles of a music store. Every step showcases tons of artists that I’ve either forgotten about or have yet to listen to. When visiting Rolling Stone Records, the hard part is to not go too crazy. I never thought I’d have to explain to my children what a record store was and with Rolling Stone Records around I probably never will have to. Rolling Stone is open 7 days a week from 9AM to 11PM. They are located on 7300 W. Irving Park Road in Norridge, IL. For more information go to www.rollingstonemusic.com.

Mini-Wrigley Field with Players and Prices to Match

K.Lloyd — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:50:16 -0600

Being a 13 year old boy growing up in the north suburbs of Chicago, nothing was more sacred to me than the possibility of playing at Thillens Stadium. Young boys and girls have been playing at the stadium for over 65 years. Thillens is the Mecca of all little league baseball fields. With their finely cut grass, well manicured infield, 7 foot outfield fences, electronic scoreboard and signature Thillens brinks truck in centerfield, there really isn’t anything more exciting for a prepubescent teen.

I still remember crossing over the Skokie River and seeing the giant, life-size, Thillens baseball sign on the corner of Kedzie and Devon Avenue. Unlike most little league fields, Thillens is built like a miniature stadium. For children playing on the main field, it might as well be Wrigley Field. I had not been there in over 20 years and I’m happy to report nothing has changed. I had chills running down my arms walking on the field and can remember almost every play of the game that I played there back in 1986. Although, we didn’t win the game, the memories and friendships have lasted a lifetime.

The stadium is open all summer long and there is a game going on from 10AM on weekends to late into the night. Oh, I almost forgot, Thillens has lights that were probably installed some time around World War II. During night games, some of the hanging lights don’t cover the entire playing field and there are corners of the outfield that are somewhat dark. That only adds to the charm of the whole experience. Located on the outskirts of West Rogers Park with apartment buildings right across the street, there is a cozy feel to this Chicago landmark. Thillens doesn’t have a website that I could find, but it is pretty much open on any summer days during the weekend when it isn’t raining. You can get more information about it on the Chicago Park District website. Admission depends on the event but is never more than a few dollars. Thillens is located at 6404 N. Kedzie in Chicago.

Family Pizza Night at Barnaby’s Family Inn

K.Lloyd — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:22:12 -0600

To all the pizza fanatics in Chicago who like thin pizza its time to check out Barnaby’s Family Inn. My family and I love pizza, both thick and thin. Barnaby’s has that something special. When you walk in you are greeted by brick walls, dark booths and an atmosphere of pure family fun. There are no servers at this establishment. You place your order at the front and pick up your drink order after you pass them making your pizza. Finally, you go pick a table and wait for your number to be called on.

Bringing the kids along is of no concern to the owner’s of Barnaby’s. In fact, when we go we often see kid’s sports leagues gathering for a post meal celebration. There are flat screen televisions located on each wall of the restaurant. It is a casual and comfortable restaurant. Oh yeah, did I mention they have some of the best thin pizza anywhere? The pizza is incredibly thin and has a delicious cornmeal base. The tightly, twisted sourdough crust has some patrons eating this pizza backward. It is cut into small squares for easy sharing with friends and for the little ones. In addition to great pizza, they offer salads, sandwiches, wings, chili and soup. There is something for everyone.

In addition to the Niles location, at 7950 N. Caldwell Avenue, they have locations in Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Des Plaines and Northbrook. Wherever you may be traveling or working in the Chicago area there is a Barnaby’s to be found.

Zoo Adventure

K.Lloyd — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:18:56 -0600

The Brookfield Zoo is located just 14 miles west of downtown Chicago. It is a great zoo! I can’t believe I have waited until today to visit. I can’t say enough good things about it. It is open every day of the year, but the hours do vary depending on the season.

There is so much to do at the Brookfield Zoo. Plan your day by checking out their website first and deciding what’s most important to you and your family. My son wanted to see the giraffe’s, so that’s where we went first. We also saw camels, zebras, bison, elephants, peacocks, monkeys and rhinos. There are many great photo opportunities as well, so get your cameras ready.

The scenic grounds are a beautiful place to walk around. There were fountains and trails and a new adventure around every corner. After eating lunch on the many picnic benches my kids played on the playground. They loved the pretend animal train that they could climb. I would recommend packing a lunch and having a picnic. When my kids are hungry its nice to just take it out and be ready to eat. There are many vendors selling treats and drinks. There are also restaurants on site.

Brookfield Zoo offers tours, Dolphin Shows and Animal Presentations, Zoo Chats, Motor Safari, Carousel Rides and a Children’s Zoo. Most attractions are free. There is an entrance fee and parking fee as well. For the customers planning on making multiple visits throughout the year, they offer an annual membership. I know that I will be back to visit the zoo and I will treasure the time spent with my kids there.

Brookfield Zoo: [where: 8400 31st St, Brookfield, IL 60513]

End of Summer Reading

bookworm — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 12:57:50 -0600

At this time of year, we should all be evaluating our June and July intellectual workout, because we don’t have too much time left for pool-side reading – before you know it, they’ll be closing the pool (at least in Chicago, they will!), the lake will start crisping up and then what will we do?

If you’re a Barnes & Noble Member, you received coupons in your email the other day. My two target reading adventures for the remainder of the summer reading season are Chelsea Handler’s new book Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea, and then there’s David Sedaris’ new entry entitled When You Are Engulfed in Flames.

Neither of these promises any intellectual vigor, but let’s face it: that’s not what summer reading is for. And both of them have the kind of title that can certainly engender a conversation with your fellow non-swimmers or the guy in the airline seat next to you. That could be the best you get out of them – or maybe you’ll get a good belly laugh, too.

If you don’t live in a place with a pool, you can start searching apartments now at www.hubbuzz.com. Start your apartment search here and just select "swimming pool" when you're perusing amenities. If you prefer a real “beach”, search the South Loop, Bronzeville, Kenwood, Rogers Park, Uptown, Lincoln Park, Gold Coast and River North neighborhoods and you’ll find just what you’re looking for.

If you’ve got other summer reading suggestions, send them along, quickly. Time’s running out!

A Toy Store Untouched by Time

K.Lloyd — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 16:11:11 -0600

Near the busy intersection of Devon and Central in Edgebrook, lies a timeless toy store. Unlike the mega-toy stores, Cut-Rate is a smaller store but their inventory is what makes them unique. They have everything that a boy or girl could want. Many of the toys they sell are educational and really cool. From all-in-one science labs to ant farms, everything is distinctive and kids really enjoy them.

Cut-Rate Toys on Devon is a familiar sight that has been in business for over 50 years. My mother used to tell me tales of watching frantic mothers literally fighting each other to get a Cabbage Patch Doll during Christmas time in 1984. She also told me about the time that she waited outside the store for 90 minutes to buy me the latest Star Wars figures. The aisles are filled with toys of both yesterday and today. On a recent visit, my family and I spent almost an hour perusing all the great items. I have decided to try and do all our Christmas shopping for our children there.

Cut-Rate Toys is open everyday and really gets busy around Christmas time. Parking is somewhat limited but there are parking meters in front of the store. They don’t have an official website from what I could find. Cut Rate Toys is located at 5409 West Devon Ave. About one block east of the Edgebrook Metra station.

Little Green Baby - An Eco-Baby Store

K.Lloyd — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:19:51 -0600

It’s never too early to start being concerned about the environment. Whether it is on a global scale or on a smaller neighborhood scale, every little bit helps. In the trendy neighborhood of Lincoln Square, there’s a quant, little children’s boutique helping parents make better decisions for themselves, their families and the planet. As individuals turn to “greener” alternatives and eco-friendly choices, the Little Green Baby is providing a wonderful array of children’s clothes and toys that not only look terrific but also make you feel like you are making a difference in the world.

The Little Green Baby is located steps away from the Rockwell stop on the Brown Line in Lincoln Square. This unique, store is perfect for purchasing eco-friendly baby gifts, showering your child with the latest organic clothing, or just a great alternative to the mega-chain stores. My favorite item is children’s t-shirts with “Lincoln Square” proudly display across the front in cute letters. It is made from 100 percent organic cotton and uses low impact environmentally friendly dyes. What’s not to love about giving your child a cool and hip wardrobe while making an environmental statement at the same time?

When going to Little Green Baby, bring the children along. One corner of the store is dedicated to keeping kids entertained. There is a small table and chairs with books, toys and a dry erase board. Feel free to browse while you can keep an eye on what the kids are doing. Not only do they have clothes, shoes and wooden toys to purchase but they also have strollers, jewelry, eco-friendly cleaning products and a little bit of everything to adorn your children. Wednesday mornings during the school year is a dedicated a story time session where children and parents can gather for a book or two.
Buying eco-friendly baby clothes and toys may not exactly stop the ozone layer from expanding but it will give you a sense that you are doing your part to make a greener change for everyone’s future. Every little bit helps when it comes to the environment. The Little Green Baby is making a difference locally and providing some wonderful children’s products in the process. The Little Green Baby is located on 4654 North Rockwell. For more information and store hours, log onto www.littlegrenbabychicago.com or call (773)505-2066.
