Good Eats at @tavernpointchi — From elevated com Good Eats at @tavernpointchi — From elevated comfort food, sports and a unique rooftop to a stellar happy hour and plenty of events, this venue has made a nice home in Edison Park “It reminds me of a favorite sports bar in downtown Chicago that I used to work at years ago. Same kind of lively vibe, and so friendly and welcoming. I love bringing my family here for brunch.” Read the feature from our winter issue now at TheRealParkRidge.com
Sponsor spotlight: A lifelong resident of Park Rid Sponsor spotlight: A lifelong resident of Park Ridge, @mattsteigerrealestate has worked in residential and commercial real estate since 2006. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Park Ridge or the greater Chicago area, look no further: atproperties.com/site/mattsteiger/about “Matt was my first and only choice who helped me understand the process. … More importantly, he always answers the phone! My house took 75 days to close, but he kept me informed, worked on my behalf and patiently listened to my worried calls. Matt is smart, kind and patient, and he provides the type of thinking and service I remember from the old days.”

Swung by triplescoopdicecream last night for desse Swung by triplescoopdicecream last night for dessert, a tasty affogato and some pints to stockpile our freezer with before they do their annual January shutdown.

Just some of the helpful local opinions from @lisa Just some of the helpful local opinions from @lisakay_creative in the Park Ridge Insider section of our big winter issue: “ @ziassocial in nearby Norwood Park has an amazing brunch where you can also catch the games on Sundays.” “Friends recently introduced me to @pinesroompr — who knew Park Ridge had its very own speakeasy? The cozy, candlelit atmosphere and amazing drinks make it a win-win. As is the case with any good speakeasy, it is a tight place, so try to get there early to get a seat.” “ @centeredclaycollective is a ceramic studio that offers classes, after-school workshops and a really unique date-night experience. I have been here with friends, and we had such a good time getting creative. There is something about getting tactile with the clay that makes you feel like a kid again. I plan to go back for a fun date night soon (everyone remembers the movie Ghost!).” Read the spotlight at TheRealParkRidge.com
