Perusing various news-related Web sites for Chicago this, I came across the following stories that I thought were worth passing along:
- The Chicago Convention & Visitor Bureau's Chicago Like a Local Blog had a detailed review of The Bedford, a new restaurant in Wicker Park located inside of a bank vault. If you enjoy comfort foods like mac n' cheese and eating among safety deposit boxes, this blog's review is worth reading.
- I am a huge fan of Chicago-based food and nutrition expert Dawn Jackson Blatner. She always has innovative weight loss tips and she creates her own super healthy recipes, a lot of which are listed on her Web site. Dawn, a registered dietician, teamed up with Windy City LIVE! this week for the show's Diet Challenge. Check out Dawn's segment on Healthy Eating Habits for 2012.
- The Chicago Mayor's Office launched ChicagoShovels.org, a site that is said to help Chicagoans prepare for winter with an "Adopt-a-Sidewalk" shoveling initiative; a volunteer "Snow Corps" program' and a real-time "Plow Tracker" that allows residents to monitor the progress of Chicago's snow plows.
