You’ll find a few Parsons around Chicago, do yourself a favor and pop into one of them! This is a Chicago staple and for good reason. Their fried chicken sandwiches are amazing! Pair that with one of their frozen cocktails or the pickle soda cocktail (my personal favorite) and you’re in for a yummy meal!

Humboldt Park is full of Puerto Rican cuisine, and this one is hands down our favorite! The food does take quite a bit of time to come out, so make sure you’re not in a hurry. Grab a bottle of wine or some beers at the liquor store down the street and head into Papa Cache’s for a great BYOB experience. Our favorite thing to order is the chicken Jiburrito!
