From our Park Ridge Insider section in the big sum From our Park Ridge Insider section in the big summer issue: What is your favorite restaurant in the area? @jkussymortgage : “I don’t necessarily have one favorite, as I go to different places for different experiences. Happy hour at @fireandwinege is a great deal, and the outdoor space is fantastic. The loaded nachos at @donjuanscantina are perfect to split, especially with one of their hand-shaken margaritas. And the salmon skin sushi rolls at @blufish_parkridge (not on the menu — you have to ask for it) is one of my favorites. Too many great choices to pick just one.” Read the spotlight now at therealparkridge.com

Check out the Q&A with @ajnovelli25 from @uptownmedspaparkridge that's available in our big summer issue "Keep it simple and consistent: SPF every single day (rain or shine), reapply when you’re outdoors, and don’t rely on makeup with SPF as your only protection. Add a hat or physical coverage when you’re in direct sun. It’s underrated but incredibly effective."
