The last two weekends in Chicago have finally given us a sneak peak of summer weather. It’s been that type of weather that makes you want to get out and do something….anything. With that in mind, I wanted to share some of my favorite hang-outs for those wonderful Chi-Town summers. I ask that you share those hidden gems that you have found in your neck of the woods with the online community. That way, we can all get our last minute fun in before Summer 2009 is just a faint memory!
Sweet Mandy B’s- 1208 W. Webster, Chicago, IL: The most awesome cupcakes I’ve ever had. My favorite is the Banana cupcake with Chocolate frosting. The Red Velvet cupcakes are also amazing!
Chili Mac’s- 3152 N Broadway, Chicago, IL: I’ve never had the food, but the Frozen Blue Margarita has made this a summer time staple for many years! Beware, it doesn’t look potent but OH BOY!!!!! Yum!
Oak Street Beachstro- 1001 N. Lake Shore Dr., Chicago, IL: It sits right off the lake….what more needs to be said!
Close Up 2- 416 S. Clark, Chicago, IL: A very nice and intimate live jazz lounge. The bands change from week to week but I have yet to hear one that I don’t like. The atmosphere is great and the service is even better!
Twisted Lizard- 1964 N. Sheffield, Chicago, IL: You have to try the fish taco’s. They also have great margarita specials.
The Wit Hotel- 201 N. State St., Chicago, IL: Okay, stood in line for 3 hours and didn’t get up to the 27th floor outdoor balcony lounge. However, I’ve only heard great things about this place and the eye candy coming in and out wasn’t too shabby either!
I can’t wait to try your summertime "Hot Spots" in Chicago and elsewhere throughout the country!

Thanks for the tips on the Hot Spots! I've been meaning to go to Sweet Mandy B's for a long time! I recently went to Andalous, an authentic Moraccan Restaurant on the north side of Chicago. It was a great afternoon, the weather was perfect, the sun shining and they opened the front window walls so we could hear the passersby on the street. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was wonderful and we had a great girlfriend's afternoon out! If you like Moroccan food, it's a great spot!
