I love food. A lot.

Even more so, I love places that serve food and are walking distance from my apartment...or less than a $3.12 Uber pool ride away.

In case you are ever in my neighborhood, check out the best restaurants for your next date night, GNO or hungover brunch outing.

1. Parlor Pizza Bar- Wicker Park Must try: Burrata be Kidding Me Pizza, Nacho Bites, & Craziest Bread

Favorite Drink: Mother of Punch

2. Feast

Must have: Breakfast Burrito, French Toast & the most basic Mimosa

3. Antique TacoTacos, tacos and more tacos, need I say more?

Must Have: Sweet & Spicy Chicken Tacos (featured above), Pork Carnitas Tacos, Chips & Guac

Favorite Drink: Seasonal Margarita

***A close second place, is Carbon. Their tequila marinated chicken tacos are to die for. Carbon unfortunately didn't make the cut because it would take me approximately 35 minutes to walk there. Good try Carbon.

4. Hot Chocolate- Bucktown I could never let this one slip the radar. Though the title would lead you to believe it's more of a café than a restaurant, Hot Chocolate is far from just a place to stop and pick up a warm beverage. Perfect for your next Valentine's Day celebration, reservations must be made in advance and be prepared to sit rather close to your next table neighbors. Stop for a full course meal, or just dessert at the bar.

Must Try: Mac & Cheese, Pork Chop, Malted Milkshake, Hot Chocolate

5. Stan's Donuts This picture doesn't do it justice...but this is a captured moment in the controlled chaos that is Stan's. Located at the 6 corners (where Milwaukee, Damen & North Ave intersect), grab a donut, coffee or milkshake.

Must Have: All the donuts, Donut flavored milkshake

Maybe I'll be seeing you around.
