froyo chicago

I admit that I'm a little biased in saying that my neighborhood is the best, but really it is.  Southport Corridor is like a suburban pocket in the middle of city limits with the combination of independent boutiques, retail chains and notable restaurants.  So as you can imagine when a new business opens on my street, and I find it to be truly life changing, for sure you can expect me to share the good news.  While I'd like to keep Froyo Chicago as my own little secret, the people have spoken , the word is out and it's spreading like wildfire.  If you think that this is just another frozen yogurt shop, think again - this is a genius concept for everyone in the family to enjoy!

u.s. apothecary

Welcome to the Southport neighborhood U.S. Apothecary.  If you've ever found yourself meandering more in the home goods section of Anthropology, then you'll want to listen here.  This little boutique shop recently opened on Southport Avenue and I've welcomed it with wide open arms (and wallet).

amy's candy bar

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon this article from DNA Chicago on my Facebook news feed featuring a mouth watering picture of a candy bar that made my stomach churn with excitement.  The article profiled local shop Amy's Candy Bar and a signature item  that is called the "OMG Bar" that included salted caramel, chocolate ganache and hazelnut praline all covered in dark chocolate.  After I read the article I bolted to the candy shop the next day to purchase a few bars...and  a few more unexpected sweet treats.
