Today we’re heading to a few of Northalsted’s best Date Spots! And it’s all thanks to the partnership I have with the Northalsted Business Alliance to make fun Instagram reels, so a huge shoutout to them.

Sometimes I feel like there’s infinite spots in this neighborhood and honestly for intents and purposes, since I’ll never get to them all, there might as well be infinite spots. But I do get the distinct pleasure of chipping away at the neighborhood with this fun gig I have with the NBA.

Today we’re chipping away at some amazing ones. Plus I get to experience this day with Kylie. It’s going to be a fun one, that’s for sure.

I’d be remised if I didn’t thank the amazing spots that let me come in and film. Every time I make one of these videos I’m reminded of how awesome my neighborhood is and that’s largely because of places like the ones I go to in this video. So thank you to . Thank you to . And thank you to AMORE SUSHI HOUSE. You all are amazing and I had a blast highlighting what you bring to the neighborhood.

Oh… and to the folks that donate to the channel. I’ll never not be indebted to you. It’s because of all you that I’m able to make a living creating things and I’m gracious to all of you that make that possible. I’m currently behind on my donation shout outs so if you haven’t heard yours yet I promise you its coming 🙂
