Brunch: The Savoy in Wicker Park.
Favorite menu item: I love the steak and eggs.
Getaway: Lakefront has always been a very relaxing place for me. I grew up nearby and the warm embrace of the skyline has made it a favorite spot.
Art Destination: The Art Institute of Chicago. As an artist, I like to get inspired here by the amazing work.
Shopping Destination: I like shopping in Wicker Park—there are so many great stores. Marc by Marc Jacobs is a favorite.
Bar: Duseks. I love this place because it's totally unexpected in the neighborhood, and the food is great.
Favorite cocktail: The punches are unbelievable, especially during summer.
Playlist:
Lupe Fiasco, “Mission”
I actually did the cover art for the single. The song is about cancer, which has affected many members of my family.
Slum Village, “Fall in Love”
A Tribe Called Quest, “World Tour”
Outdoor Activity: I like to play basketball at any of the neighborhood parks or the courts at Lakefront.
My Favorite Unexpected Spot: Myopic Books is a great mom-and-pop bookstore where you can find obscure books you won't see anywhere else.
