Chicago Brunch｜Fuel-Up Stops for a Citywalk Adventure 🏙️

When staying near the Magnificent Mile, you'll want quick & tasty brunch spots. Here are my top picks: 📍 Gotham Bagels – Magnificent Mile 162 E Superior St Unit B, Chicago, IL 60611 💰 ~$17 per person 🥯 Brighton Beach – Cold-smoked salmon + scallion cream cheese (garlic lovers, this is for you!). I added spicy aioli and red onion for extra kick and freshness. 🍗 OMFG Bagel – Nashville-style fried chicken (crispy outside, juicy inside) + thick-cut bacon + cheddar + sunny-side-up egg. The runny yolk ties it all together — absolutely addictive! ☕ Cold Brew – Hint of chocolate flavor — so good. 📍 Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe 130 E Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60601 💰 ~$30 per person 🥞 Signature Berry Bliss Pancake – A fluffy, towering stack of joy. 🥔 Side: Homemade Corned Beef Hash – The star! Tender slow-cooked beef with crispy potato cake — mix it all up and you’re in heaven. Two people can share these and leave fully satisfied. 📍 Twin Anchors Restaurant & Tavern 1655 N Sedgwick St, Chicago, IL 60614 💰 ~$20 per person 🍖 “Best Ribs in Chicago” – They’re not lying! Fall-off-the-bone tender, smoky, and saucy. Perfect after a walk from North Avenue Beach Pier (about 15 minutes). 🧅 Onion Rings – Dip them in the rib sauce — so satisfying. 🍺 Stem Off Cider – Refreshing, like fizzy apple cider vinegar.
