food for thought by Jackson Bochner

IMG_1126 (1) Chicago has a lot of very very interesting places. It can be crazy at times and can be quiet as a hibernating bear, but that is not what I am going to talk about.  I am going to be talking about what the food is like and the best places to find it.

#1.  If you are looking for a place for hotdogs and Hamburgers, Poochies is the place for you.  I suggest the hotdog because Chicago is one of the best places in North America, in my opinion, to eat a hotdog.  If you are planning a very active day head by Poochies and have a good time.

#2. If you want bagels or other breakfast items go to New York Bagels and Bialys in Skokie. It might not look fancy, but man, do they do bagels right!

#3. If you want one good deep dish pizza go to Lou Malnatis. They have the friendliest staff and an amazing deep dish cornmeal crust pizza. There are large TVs to watch live sporting events and a menu with lots of choices.  It is in a bustling neighborhood and has been around for quite awhile and just keeps getting better and better!

NOW FOR PLACES YOU HAVE TO GO TO

#1.The Museum of Science and Industry. The Museum of Science and Industry is one of my favorite places to go because it has so much to explore.  Family fun all around and it is a good place to take a day off because it is so massive. After years  of going there is still so much to explore. My favorite exhibit is the giant model train.

#2.The Festivals at Millenium park in downtown Chicago. There is so much to explore. There is free mini-golf and a ginormous park.

They also have a water park with a huge screen of people’s faces spitting out water as a fountain.  While you are on your way to the water park, make sure to drop by the giant metal mirrored Bean.  Ok, the rest is for you to discover…for now.

  2. You’re making me crazy! I want some poochies! Now! (And by the way, your uncle Mike currently owes me 90 polish and fries – hard to collect from Georgia – very frustrating).
