Chase is finally potty trained!  Steve and I were so thrilled, we decided to take him out for a special meal, just the three of us. We went to Lockwood restaurant in the Palmer House Hotel in the downtown Loop area. Lockwood is known for their kids menu, so of course, I had to check it out. The food was good, but not worth the price.

Lockwood Restaurant & Bar

Good for a fancy but expensive night out with the kids.

I am big fan of Pinkberry yogurt shop in New York and California and I have been patiently waiting for one to appear in Chicago. The frozen yogurt is unique because it is actually real, healthy yogurt that has been frozen, rather than sugary custard disguised as yogurt. The best part is that my kids love it as much as they love the unhealthy alternative.  Although Pinkberry has not made its debut, three new stores have appeared in Chicago. We tried Starfruit in Wicker Park first. We were immediately disappointed. The yogurt was not smooth and creamy, it was more like a water ice. It tasted like a healthy snack. We tried Berry Chill in Streeterville next. Yum! The yogurt was smooth, creamy and sweet. They have a copious selection of toppings and a festive atmosphere. The last place we tried was Yoberri in Lincoln Park. The yogurt was also delicious, as good as Berry Chill. The store is a little bare and boring, and they don't seem to want to market or appeal to children.

 

I still miss Pinkberry, but Chicago's own Berry Chill , is helping me get over it!
