How to Spend a Perfect 72 Hours Eating Your Way Through Chicago

Whenever your flight arrives, Nettare is an ideal landing place for a pick-me-up, whether you prefer matcha americanos on nitro draft, black walnut honey lattes, or esoteric limited time specials like a sakura co-fermented coffee. This all-day cafe serves tantalizing pastries (all baked in-house) like savory ramp buns, cream puffs, and seasonal fruit galettes, but they sell out quickly. Come lunch, there might be a few brown butter madeleines or rye chocolate chip cookies left for dessert, along with a mortadella sandwich, smoked trout toast, and beef fat fried potatoes with giardiniera aioli. If your hotel is painfully slow about check-in, or you’re just having too good a time, happy hour starts at 4 p.m., with a $20 burger and martini duo, mushroom pâté, and Midwestern cheeses.
