Zissou is a great teacher and makes it easy and fun to screen print. I am glad I found him because I would not have learned half as much as a already have.

This is a great little greasy spot with all the usual Vienna beef goods, the service, at least during lunch has been really nice and easy going. They also have about ten or more subs you can choose from and when you get the largest size sandwich, it's no joke. There gyros, burgers, mozzarella sticks, pizza puffs, and fries all had there usual deep fried goodness. I plan on trying everything they got, so far they are yet to disappoint.

I am a sucker for old school hot dog joints and this one is perfect. George the owner and cook is especially great. He is nice to everyone who walks in and really makes you feel like you are his best customer. Just the other day I walked in there with 2 minutes before close everything was put away and you could tell he was ready to close up. I walked in apologized and said sorry are you still open, he said yeah of course come on in. He struck up the grill again and got me a pizza puff and fries in no time. I didn't want to bother him so I was going to get my food to go, but it would have for sure been cold walking 5 blocks in the freezing Chicago winter, he though insisted that I stay and eat, he genuinely seemed to want me to stay so I did. The food was great and I was glad to be warm eating hot food.

Statesville Haunted Prison

A truly awesome haunted house. They did it all great costumes, stories, sets and definite fear factor that you could not avoid. I highly recommend this haunted house, but if you are a girl who has a tendency to pee there pants I strongly suggest you be careful. It is for sure worth the long, long drive and absolutely worth the price of admission.

I love this place. I moved into Bucktown/Wicker park a couple of years ago and this was the first place I went to eat, I have been hooked ever since. I especially love eating from the front deli counter. Their daily specials are what I really enjoy. For a great staple though I go with the Robert special (meatball sub), but also the chicken parm sandwich is really really good and huge. The best part is it is really affordable and the staff is great.

A great little dive bar with a good jukebox and a laid back feel, with real nice bartenders. They don't have the biggest selection of beers but it is pretty good and you are more than likely going to find what you want. My personal favorite things about this bar is they have shuffle bowling, a great bar game you don't see to often. I like to come here grab some popcorn off the cart, have a pint and bowl the night away.

I have now officially found my favorite pizza in Chicago, which is hard to say considering I have lived here all my life and usually prefer a deep dish to anything else, but this place has it all, good pizza, good staff, good wine and an all around great atmosphere. I will be returning soon and often.

This is a great little bakery in the heart of Wicker Park. You walk in grab a tray and a pair of prongs and walk around picking out of glass cabinets from an array of goodies. Even after filling your tray you still wont spend more than $7 and all there pasteries are amazing.
