How to Experience the best of black Chicago for a weekend?

[TheKongoEmpire]

I will be returning to Babylon after 98 days from Colombia, specifically Afro-Colombia and I wanted to keep this trend going. And since we have so many people from Chicago here, I wanted to know what's the best itinerary to experience the best black Chicago for weekend or a week, if need be. I would be open to pretty much anything as long as it's safe (no health insurance) , fun and there's beautiful sisters to holler at. Lettuce discuss.

Just drive 3 hours to Indianapolis and have fun. Chicago is a demonic city.

Surely there has to be one positive thing in black Chicago to visit right? A jazz club? A restaurant?

People shytting on Chicago never stepped foot in the city. From Detroit and been going all my life. Like my second home. Recently just took my family out there in May. Hit up the zoos and navy pier. All downtown walking through the city and enjoying the views. Chicago is a beautiful city. Best city in the Midwest imo

Virtue - Hyde Park (Good soul/creole food)
Machine Engineered Drink - Wicker Park (Black owned spot, good place for different drinks)
Ja Grill/Good to Go - 2 best Jamaican restaurants in the city. (Hyde Park/Roger's Park)
Anita Dee - Probably has some mostly black party going on
M Lounge - South Loop (Laid-back old head crowd)
Fremont - River North (Brunch)


Not sure how hood you trying to get, but I can give a few black clubs that probably are jumping.

Fremont - River North (Brunch)

Closed either last year or early this year.

Provare is FYE but definitely hood-ish. Not the neighborhood, but the clientele.
