Fab Review: Pub Royale

November 5, 2015 by Contributing Writer

After ten years of business, there was an evident sadness felt amongst residents and loyal customers when news broke last November, that Small Bar was closing up shop. Small Bar was one of the better establishments on Division Street that served an excellent selection of food and craft beer. It didn’t take long before Heisler Hospitality (the folks behind Lone Wolf, Bar DeVille, and Sportsman’s Club) took over the space with Pub Royale. Smart move on their part since Pub Royale filled the void by opening a one-of-a-kind concept amidst the dive bars that dominate the Wicker Park area. It also serves patrons great late-night eats and fun cocktails….

Fab Review: Antique Taco

October 20, 2015 by Contributing Writer

I count myself lucky to be living in Chicago for many reasons. One of them is the endless amount of ethnic foods you can find here. Mexican food is definitely at the top of my list of favorites. After all, #TacoTuesday is an excuse to try out new taco joints and drink margaritas. So it is fitting to share my soft spot for Antique Taco, one of many taco joints in the bustling Wicker Park neighborhood….

Fab Review: Allende Restaurant

October 16, 2015 by Contributing Writer

Allende is one of those hole-in-the-wall places that you might pass over at first glance. I highly recommend you don’t or you’ll miss out on a treasure trove of authentic Mexican food. Although the interior design of the restaurant leaves much to be desired, Allende gives you great Mexican food for a price that won’t hurt your wallet….

September 28, 2015 by Soo Park

Juno, located in Lincoln Park, serves authentic Japanese fare with a contemporary flair. Best known for its raw fish preparations and creative Omakase, Juno is a popular destination amongst Chicagoans for quality sushi.

Earlier this year, I took hubby to Juno for his birthday. He wanted great food in a casual environment. Juno was the perfect place. The food is always consistent and never disappoints. Chef B.K. Park is a master of his craft who takes the art of sushi seriously.
