This father and son south side institution is truly the G.O.A.T.

When polling locals where the best rooftop bars in Chicago were, I only got one answer - Cindy's. Jaw dropping views of the Chicago skyline, Millenium park and Lake Michigan. No wonder it's a popular city rooftop for locals and visitors!

Brunch is the most important meal of the day. In Chicago, I recommend The Kitchen. Bottomless mimosas, farmer's breakfast, and the location is right on the riverwalk. Do you have any fave brunch spots in cities you visited this summer?
