Coming from Boston, I had heard the news that Time Out Market is closing its doors (in both…read morelocations!) in the next week, and I was looking forward to seeing what the Chicago food hall looked like. I was surprised to see that the website does allow reservations for large groups, so we booked through Resy a few days before coming. When we arrived at Fulton Market, it took a few tries but we happily found street parking. It was a little bit overwhelming when we first walked in. It feels "bigger" than the original food hall in Lisboa or the one in Boston - not necessarily in square footage, but primarily in energy. It was very busy and especially loud, and there was a DJ booth in the corner that felt closer to a club than a restaurant. I'm guessing part of this might be because it was a Friday night, but curious if it's been busier than normal since the announcement of the market's impending closure. The "reservation" system felt nominal at best, as there weren't any tables set up when we got there - by the time I was able to flag down staff for the food hall, it would have taken quite a while for them to find seats and move them together. In the end we were able to find a corner that worked out pretty well. Similar to the Boston location, you can order online. It didn't feel prominently advertised, as the food stalls themselves all had long lines and were pretty understaffed. In addition, after ordering online, there was no notification that the order was ready for pick-up (for several of the stalls). And while TOM is in a pretty central part of Chicago, the food felt spectacularly expensive for what you were getting. Pretty much everything was over $20 (before tax + tip) for an okay amount of food. On top of that, in our large 15+ person group, the vast majority of us felt that the food was definitively below average quality. Mine in particular was Bill Kim Ramen Bowl's tofu rice bowl. It was a depressing mix of unseasoned tofu cubes, dry arugula, kimchi, plain white rice with no sauce, a handful of pickled veggies, and a half-avocado that wasn't even sliced. It tasted about how it looks. None of that surprises me, but it felt like a far cry from the Lisboa concept, where I was a repeat customer for the high-quality food by distinguished chefs at extremely affordable prices. I'm glad I went, but won't be especially sad to see it go.

It was bustling with others doing the same but because it's so big it didn't feel overwhelming. They really have something for everyone here. I decided to go with the Fat Shallot for a BLT.

In the lead up to my most recent visit to Chicago, the hidden food court in Richland Center popped…read moreup in my algorithm... and as someone who loves "hole in the wall"-type places, as well as checking out various neighborhoods, their shops, and restaurants, I was super excited to check it out. The problem is that once you actually GET to Richland Center, especially to try out the food court, you realize it's dingy and unwelcoming. There's 0 charm, half the stalls are either closed OR the folks working in them are either rude or paying no attention (seriously, I want to be a paying customer!), and it's just generally disappointing. It didn't really matter which stall I visited or what selection(s) I was trying to make (while wanting to be mindful of cultural norms, expectations, etc). Also, I don't know who decided to pitch the food court as some hidden gem... first of all, it's literally inside the main doors from the sidewalk and then down a (filthy) set of stairs, but secondly, there doesn't seem to be any attention paid to... well... anything. I get that the mall itself is pretty abandoned... like, I anticipated that (and, unfortunately, it seems to be par for the course in many places these days). I understand the nature of dining at food stalls too... I've frequented many in my travels and I honestly love them and have had some of my best meals, and best interactions, from them... ... but this? This wasn't it. This was not a positive experience. Maybe it's different if you live in the neighborhood, I don't know. But I've never had this kind of experience before. I wouldn't recommend going to Richland Center either, whether it be trying to dine in the food court or anything else.

Over to get a Delicious Roti! It's an Indian Taco, for those whom don't know. You must try it! Bhomi modern Indian grill.

Stan's Donuts and Coffee is open 7a-5p, Closed Sun. The Bhomi , 11-7 basically. Verify hours please to make sure. There was a bar at the entrance to entertain people. Great potential for other businesses. A bbq spot , a traditional taco spot, Don Javi's would fit here well. Maybe a Chi-SHACK and a Happy Chef. Maybe a classy Mr Sub! These are really Chicago classics. It would be great to see these open more now Covid is over ! Get people out to enjoy more and see what life is like .

Have any of you amazing, wonderful, and lovely humans seen my review for Sterling Food Hall…read more(formerly Revival). In said review, I docked them a star for a disproportionate number of spots having sandwiches by any other name. I even went into Excel and made a pie-chart (true to form as a man in finance!) With Washington Hall, I could create a pie chart, but I don't see a reason to. Their offerings are still growing, but even with what's available now, the selection is awesome. Just going from memory, there is Indian, pizza, wings, hot dogs, Latin-American, Greek, and a Stan's Donuts (and probably a few I missed). The hall, including the restrooms are clean, and there is ample seating, plus more upstairs. The vibe is open and airy. Not as pretty or unique as Sterling, but I'm not really complaining - as long as it's clean and not depressing, I don't care that much. I am looking forward to making my way through trying all the spots within, and giving the bar a go when it opens. Hopefully most of the food vendors will be open in the evening.

The set up is self service where you go to the kiosk and make a digital payment. There was one staff member directing everyone around. What annoyed me is that there was clearly a line and everyone was waiting and some ladies just cut the line and the staff member didn't say anything. Like why are you event there then? The kiosk was decently user friendly but you weren't able to substitute ingredients. You can omit them if you'd like. I ended up ordering a Curried Chicken Salad Sandwich ($14) and an Iced Tea ($5). I was directed to a line to get my drink. It was confusing because they were asking some people for their name, but some people for the number on their receipt, and then just being like never mind what drink did you get. The Iced Tea was on the small side and there was no sweeteners in sight. I just drank it as is. You are able to seat yourself and they call you when your food is ready. To their credit the food was prepared quite quickly. It looks like they mass produce a lot of these items, which is why customization is unavailable. The curried chicken salad sandwich was really tasty. I just wish it came with chips or something. Had I known I would have bought some chips. The curried chicken salad portion was unique and I could eat this all day. The bread was too much so halfway through I just ate the filling. A nice café to grab lunch while visiting the museum. Not too much customer service, but the meal sustains visitors for a bit longer to enjoy more of the museum.

**5 Stars - A Seamless and Welcoming Experience at Lincoln Common**…read more From the moment I expressed interest in Lincoln Common, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The leasing team was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely welcoming -- they made the entire move-in process smooth and stress-free. Every question I had was answered promptly, and they guided me through all the necessary steps with clarity and care. Move-in day was seamless, with everything perfectly prepared and organized. The building itself is stunning -- modern, clean, and full of thoughtful amenities that really elevate the living experience. It's clear that a lot of attention has been paid to both the design and the day-to-day experience of residents. I truly felt like I was joining a community rather than just renting an apartment. The staff continues to be helpful and attentive, and I'm so glad I chose Lincoln Common as my new home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality living experience in a vibrant neighborhood!

The only downside is the wait since they moved to 2623 S Halsted St. We waited about 40 minutes for a table and another 20 minutes for our food.

This place is supposedly a high end mall, and I am 100% see the vision. There are 10 floors I believe, but it's only 2-4 stores per floor. They forget to put stores on certain floors in the directory as well. The highlight of the mall in my opinion was the American Girl place. It's large, and really informative and fun. I walked around a bit and they have a decent spread of stores. Fashion. Accessories. Toys. They even have an art gallery. I didn't talk to anyone, really. I shopped at Aeropostale, one of my favorite brands, looked around and that concluded my trip. It's a nice place for people touring, but don't make way for it while planning your trip. Think of it as a plan B. If I lived in Chicago, I wouldn't see this mall as a regular place to shop.

We both got the soup, but you need to add salt and pepper to the soup to make it to your liking.

The soups were warm, delicious, and soothing with the tender meat and delicate clear noodles. The service was great; it's run by an older Korean lady that seems so sweet when she comes to take your order and makes sure you enjoyed everything. She asked how everything was and even offered more side dishes since we finished it all. The ambiance is very simple there; you're seated and read off a menu on the wall. It's also cash only, so I'd make sure to bring cash! (There is an atm there just in case though). Additionally, there's a small parking lot if you're lucky to get a spot. I'd definitely give this place a try if you're trying to get something comforting and not too heavy!

Also, according to my boyfriend, they don't offer to-go boxes, so we tried to finish as much of our food as we could.
