It was Meg's last day in Chicago, so before she left, we went to The Chicago Diner for lunch…this time, in Boys Town. She ordered the massive Country Fried Steak (and she ate it all!) and I got the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich.

We shopped around the neighborhood for a little bit, and ended up going to a costume store where all the drag queens go and I bought a pink wig for my Marie Antoinette costume.
After lunch, Meg got in a cab for the airport, and I continued to the Andersonville neighborhood to check out all of the antique stores. I fell in love with this neighborhood filled with unique shops and cool restaurants.
One of my favorite stores was Brimfield, with lots of vintage outdoorsy items and lots of plaid upholstery.

Found some cool gnomes and decor at Room Service.
But one of my favorite stores was Roost.
I didn't end up buying anything, though. If I had lived there, I'm sure it would have at least one of Brimfield's larger pieces of furniture. Speaking of living there, I just loved this tree-lined neighborhood of historic homes within walking distance to Andersonville and metro. If only the winters weren't so brutal!
For dinner that night we went to Karyn's Cooked.
