The Best Places in the Windy City

This one is a nobrainer, I have live in Chicago all of my life and this is one of Chicagos best kept secrets. Hyde Park. Its a little community in it’s own right, and its still one of  the best places to live because diversity thrives here. Nesstled in the heart of Hyde Park is one of the best and hottest places to sit down and eat after a stroll on the beatuful lake front, The Dixi Kitchen has the best serving of red beans and rice I’ve had in all of my life, they also have fried green tomatoes, gumbo and fried corn bread so good it’ll make your mouth water. This place rocks and they have been serving some of the best southern cooking in all of Hyde Park for many years now. This place is a must to visit if your visiting from out of town. After filling your tummy I suggest you take a long romantic walk along the HOTT spot,  us kids from back in the day called our favorite spot, the hott spot, which is normally called the point. The point which is located right on the outter drive, behind the Museum of Science and Industry and can been seen on your way downtown, the point is a very romantic place to take your sweetie for some cuddling on the big massive rocks that sit just inches from the water, its an awsome must see and one of the most romantic palces I’ve ever been. There are many old historic buildings that still sit in the heart of Hyde park and they all tell their own story of surviving in a constent changing envrionment. Hyde part is on my A list for must see places in Chicago.
