I recently tried the new buffalo shrimp wrap from I recently tried the new buffalo shrimp wrap from @pennyvillestation but subbed the shrimp for chicken. I’ve been dying for Park Ridge to have a buffalo wrap on their menu. It was absolutely amazing, and I will try the shrimp next. Thank you, Tony Antonacci, for adding one of my all time favorite meals! — Brittany Simonelli I went to @theprospectmp for the first time recently to meet friends. I walked in and was immediately impressed by the decor. It had the coolest vibe with a restaurant and bar on the main level and some more seating and a bar, more lounge-like, on the upper level. The food and drinks were delicious. The Holiday Collins was the perfect cocktail to start. It paired well with the most delicious octopus and Brussels sprouts as starters. Next was the perfectly seasoned filet followed by the dark chocolate mousse cake. I look forward to returning for just drinks and some apps in their lounge area. — Kelly Stebner Read the winter issue cover story about the best meals our readers have had recently at TheRealParkRidge.com

From our Park Ridge Insider archives — Favorite From our Park Ridge Insider archives — Favorite restaurant in the area: “This one is like asking which star in the sky is my favorite. We have so many amazing restaurants. I think @pazzidipizzaparkridge is currently leading the pack. We recently hosted my brother’s wedding shower there, and I may have developed a mild obsession with their pizza and the rigatoni alla vodka. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff is just wonderful.” — @drericajuris Read the spotlight at therealparkridge.com
