Friday morning was still overcast, windy, and misty. We decided to trek over to a restaurant I saw online called Yolk for breakfast. We got some faulty directions but when we figured that out we turned around and found Yolk. It’s good to walk a few extra miles if you are going to eat like this…
There was a lot to see on our walk to and from the restaurant. We stopped at a couple beautiful churches and were able to take photos. Lots to share in the days to come. Tonight we’re going out to dinner with Dear’s boss. Tomorrow I’m on my own for most of the day and the weather is improving. I’m thinking about the Trolley tour…
One last shot of something we saw when we got back to the hotel.
Oops! This van plowed into the store window.

That breakfast looks fabulous – looks like you are having a great time. i just found a bunch of great recipes at your food blog!
I’ve been to a Yolk….very good breakfasts! And it seems like anywhere you walk is Chi town, is always longer than it looks on the map!! Hope the weather clears up for you….
I love Chicago….have fun!
Ellen – when we were in Chicago (in ’08) we contacted a “City Greeter” through the city’s Chamber of Commerce or Tourism Organization – can’t remember which. They give you a tour of the city totally free of charge – it was fantastic! A retired librarian took us for a walking tour – we heard much history and saw many beautiful sites such as Tiffany glass, old buildings, parks, landmarks and more! Hope you do a tour of some kind – you will be glad you did. Love Chicago! Enjoy!
Yeah, that’s a big oops.
The breakfast looks delicious!
Oops, my comment disappeared – let me try again. I recommend an architecture society boat tour, hosted by an official docent of that society. A view you can’t have any other way with wonderful information. It’s worth the cost. Also, the Art Institute is a beautiful building with a fine collection; a great place to wander around soaking up all sorts of good art.
Finally, don’t forget to try some Garret’s popcorn – it’s the best! Cheese along side of Caramel is proper. Enjoy!
yes to Susan….Garret’s popcorn is a must have!!! (‘cept, I haven’t tried cheese w/the caramel. Just the caramel is delish!!)
Such lovely photos you are sharing! Enjoyed my visit!!
I may be eating a Chicago dog in your honor this week. Wonder what a Chicago dig tastes like in Chicago?
I got a chuckle out of that last photo – I love that you always are able to capture interesting shots!
