Yolk restaurant, River North neighborhood
Music on the way: Michael Bublee and Etta James
Church: Holy Family Cathedral
Where we walked: Around River East and Navy Pier
Yolk restaurant is a trendy, young, bright breakfast spot on 747 North Wells street, river north neighborhood. It is a contemporary décor with yellow and blues, pastels, just a few doors south of Chicago Ave.
Our breakfast was delicious. They have an Extensive menu, and eggs benedict is their specialty. Stephanie, our waitress, recommends the “Hey Ricky” with Chorizo and jalapeño which Tim ordered, minus the hot peppers. Kate decided on the Popeye Fritatta, with bacon and spinach and pumpkin pancakes. Kate reminded me, “You don’t have to list all the ingredients, that will bore people.” The service was very good and the price was nto bad...around $25 including tip, just at our budget.
As you can see, either breakfast was enough for two. Kate took half of hers home. Tim, of course cleaned his plate. This was a great way to stoke the fire before walking the chilly Chicago streets.
We went to 9:30 am mass a half mile away at Holy Family Cathedral.
The world renowned choir was worth the trip, and Cardinal George's homily was just as impressive.
After mass he gave Kate and I a personal blessing. While standing in line to greet the cardinal, I raised my camera high up and got a nice shot (Kate was cringing).
After mass we walked Navy Pier and then stopped in Fox and Obel's grocery store in River East on the way back. If you have never been there, put it on your list your list to visit. It is an experience. You'll see what I mean when you get there.
