Hey Hey!! 

The holiday season is upon us and is sure to bring some fellowship and good laughs. However, we wanted to put a city guide together to give you a few ideas when you want to step outside for alone time or to keep the party going.

You know that everyone comes to Chicago and only goes to the same 3. 4 places. Usually, somewhere in Logan Square or Wicker Park. And while those neighborhoods do carry some great places to eat, drink and be merry. . .I'm from the Southside and the majority of my dollars get spent in BLACK OWNED ESTABLISHMENTS.

So here is my ultimate Chicago guide.

It's so many more places than the ones I'm listing here, these are just some of my personal favorites.
