Italian beefs are a must-try in Chicago. Although chains are frowned upon, I really like Portillo’s Italian beef (add cheese, Italian sausage link, hot peppers & sweet peppers. Yum!)

Lickety Split is a coffee shop, bakery, ice cream shop and candy store, all wrapped in one. We like to go here after playing or walking the trails at Indian Boundary Park (also in guidebook), just down the street.😊 The affogato (espresso over vanilla ice cream) is my favorite. Their candy selection is fun and nostalgic!
